Eating out, poor hand hygiene and erratic weather may be among causes, say medics
A plane crashed in central China’s Hubei province on Thursday, setting several houses on fire, the third aviation accident in the country in over two months. The plane crashed in Laohekou city near the airport. The pilot parachuted from the plane and received minor injuries, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Chinese official media as saying.
Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed several houses on fire at the accident scene.
Emergency department personnel rushed to the crash site. Further details are awaited, the report said.
This is the third accident involving planes in China since March this year.
