The Cessna 172 crashed into bushes near the N2 freeway claiming the lives of two people.

The plane which witnesses say had struck a power line as it crashed forced Metro Police to close the highway as a precautionary measure.

It has since been re-opened. Louis van Coller says he had been travelling north along the N2 near the Illovo bridge when he saw the small white aircraft coming very low towards him.
