A plane doing a stunt show during a wedding in Argentina crashed on a 27-year-old woman and her 3-year-old daughter last Saturday (30).

The impressive scene was recorded by a witness, who was filming the aerial performance. The accident took place in the city of Villa General Belgrano, in the province of Córdoba.

The woman sustained serious injuries — including an open fracture to the femur and trauma to the trunk and head — while trying to protect the child, who suffered a fractured pelvis. Both are hospitalized, but stable and progressing well, according to the news portal Vía País.

The 35-year-old pilot, in turn, was trapped in the hardware and was removed by firefighters, in an operation that lasted an hour. He suffered trauma to the head, chest and abdomen and is in the ICU of the Eva Perón regional hospital. His health status has not been disclosed.

According to a report on the Infobae portal, he is an experienced professional and has the necessary documents to make this type of presentation. The plane took off from an aeroclub located a few meters from the crash site, along with another aircraft that was also participating in the acrobatics show.

An investigation was opened to investigate the causes of the fall.
