Two people have died after a light plane crashed in southeastern Queensland, authorities say.

Emergency services said a twin turboprop Reims Cessna F406 aircraft crashed into a grass area at Devon Park, near Oakey, west of Toowoomba about 3 p.m. on July 20.

Two men believed to have been onboard the aircraft died in the crash, police said, with investigators saying forensic testing was ongoing to identify them.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said it would transport the recovered aircraft wreckage to its technical facilities in Canberra for further study.

It urged anyone with video footage of the light plane, at any phase of the flight or in the immediate aftermath of the crash, to contact the ATSB.
