Four people have escaped with only minor injuries after their light plane clipped trees and was forced to make an emergency landing in NSW.
Police say the single-engine Piper clipped trees after taking off from Mittagong Airport on Sunday, forcing it to land at a nearby property on Old South Rd at 10.55am (AEDT).
Paramedics were called and they treated and assessed all four on board the plane at the crash site.
The NSW Ambulance Service said they suffered only minor injuries, and were later taken to Bowral Hospital.
Police and air safety authorities are now investigating the cause of the crash, a police spokeswoman said.
