A trainer aircraft crashed in Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, on Monday (December 8, 2025) after hitting a 33kV high voltage power line, resulting in injuries to the pilot and another occupant, officials said.
“The aircraft, which belonged to Redward Aviation Company, crashed at 6.25 p.m. near fields in Amagon, some two kilometres from the Suktara airstrip on Seoni-Nagpur National Highway number 44,” they added.
“Pilot Ajit Chavda and another occupant were injured. They were rescued by power company staff, villagers, and police. The two are undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Barapathar, and both are out of danger,” an official said.
According to eyewitnesses, while landing, the bottom of the aircraft hit 33 kV power lines from the Badalpar substation. “The power line snapped, and the aircraft crashed. As the power line tripped, it disrupted supply and averted a major accident,” the official said.
