Two people were killed in a crash with small plane near Gouda in the west of the Netherlands, Dutch television NOS reported.

The accident happened late Tuesday morning local time in the southwest of the village of Stolwijk near Gouda. The aircraft, a Cessna, had taken off from Rotterdam The Hague Airport 15 minutes earlier. The two victims were the only people on board.
