FIVE people have walked away from a light plane crash with minor injuries in Western Australia’s northwest, police say.
Sergeant Greg Lambert said the plane made an emergency landing about 8.30am (WST) on Thursday, about 20km north of Broome.
“It parked where it shouldn’t have been parking,” Sgt Lambert said. Five people on board the plane walked away with minor injuries but the plane was a wreck, Sgt Lambert said.

A new way of luggage screening could reduce waiting for frustrated passengers at Perth International Airport, its proponents say. 
The company contracted to screen international passenger baggage says it is testing a system which helps overcome problems caused when luggage is loaded on to a plane but the passenger fails to board.
Unisys, which was recently granted a five-year extension to its contract, says the new technology will allow its existing barcode tracking system to link passengers to bags.
Currently at Perth Airport, the barcode is linked only to the bag, meaning substantial delays can often result as staff try to find and remove baggage should a passenger fail to board.
A Unisys spokeswoman said the new system would be implemented in Perth “in the near future” once testing had finished.
The new technology was part of the requirment of the renewal of the contract with the Board of Airline Representatives of Australia, the peak aviation industry body.
