WA: Redbull air race crashes into river during training

A Brazilian Red Bull Air Race pilot has escaped with minor injuries after his plane
crashed into the Swan River this morning.

ADILSON KINDLEMANN was doing a practice run in Perth ahead of the World Championship
competition event tomorrow.

Witnesses have described how the 36 year old's plane appeared to clip something before
plunging into the water.

Red Bull Air Race chief BERND LOIDL says specific details about the crash can't be
given at this stage.

He says emergency response teams were on the scene in minutes and KINDLEMANN's in good condition.
