Narrative:
A Piper PA-28-180 has crashed in Victoria's north-west, killing two persons and injuring another.

It is believed the plane went down about 6:30pm (AEST) in a paddock off McLennans Road near Wallup, about 40km north of Horsham, VIC.

Police and emergency crews found the wreckage after locals reported a loud bang earlier in the evening.

The pilot was a volonteer of the Angel Flight charity which helps transfer patients from regional areas for treatment.

The third passenger later died in hospital.
