An aircraft has crashed in West Australia's south-east, trapping two people inside the wreckage, emergency services say.
The small fixed wing Cessna 210 aircraft crashed sometime before 4.30pm (WST), 120km south of Kalgoorlie, near Lake Cowan.
Two people were on board and are believed to be injured and trapped inside the plane, a Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) spokesperson said.
The RAC Rescue helicopter is on its way to the crash site and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority have organised for a Dash 8 aircraft to search for the plane.
A four-wheel drive ambulance is making its way from Norseman, in WA's south east, but it could take some time to reach the people.
