Witnesses saw the plane clip a tree as it attempted an emergency landing and crashed in a field in Kericho county west of the capital Nairobi. “The plane clipped the tree and the rear wheels came off,” said farm worker Joseph Ng’ethe. The pilot gestured at farm workers on the ground below to move away before the rear hit a tree, they said. Last year, eight passengers and two pilots were killed when a single turboprop Cessna Caravan plane operated by local firm FlySax on a domestic flight to Nairobi crashed into a mountain.
