Two-time Olympic champion survives plane crash in Kenya

Former double Olympic 800m champion David Rudisha was unharmed after a plane he was flying in crash-landed, Report informs via BBC.

The plane - carrying Rudisha and five others - came down in Kajiado county in south-east Kenya on Saturday. Photos show it upside down in a field.

Kenyan Rudisha, 33, described it as a "scary episode".

"All was well close to seven or eight minutes into the flight when the engine of the plane suddenly went quiet," he told the Daily Nation.

Rudisha, who won gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016, is unharmed. One of the other occupants, Stephen Ole Marai, was being treated in hospital for rib injuries, while others were taken to hospital with minor injuries but later discharged.
