KEY POINTS:
A New Zealand pilot was injured when his Cessna 206 carrying five passengers crashed in the Okavango Delta in Botswana yesterday (NZT).
The New Zealander, working for Moremi Air Charters, was transporting a German couple, two locals and a nine month old child from Maun to a tourist camp when the crash happened, according to a media report.
All were hospitalised although their conditions were not known.
"We have been told that the crash resulted from bad weather as it was windy and raining and the light aircraft could not stand the bad weather," said Maun police chief Robert Masibi.
Three New Zealand passengers in a similar flight - also a Cessna 206 flown by Moremi - died in a crash near Maun in May 2001.
