+An ambulance spokesperson said the 58-year-old man, who was a passenger, had died.
+The 21-year-old pilot had to be freed from the wreckage by firefighters.
+He has been flown to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane.
+Authorities are yet to release details of the person who died.
+Paramedic Natasha Adams said the site had been hard to reach and the helicopter had found a track for four-wheel drives to use.
+"There was quite a distance from the nearest accessible point to the actual incident," she said.
+"The aircraft had landed in a tall grassy area close to a tree line.
+"The patient was entrapped by his legs and was hanging outside of the aircraft, and there was a deceased male in the front seat.
+"[The 21-year-old] was quite stable in the condition he was in, but he does have critical injuries."
+Senior Sergeant Greg Brakes said authorities believed the plane crashed shortly after take-off.
+"I know that the plane does some joy flights - I'm not sure if this was a paid-for joy flight or something else," he said.
