Narrative:
A small airplane crashed after colliding with power lines near Mirkovo, Bulgaria. Two occupants are seriously injured. The plane is not registered and, thus, illegally operated. It is not clear if any of the two occupants had a valid pilot license.

The accident aircraft was a Piper Colt with a colour scheme exactly matching that of Piper Colt G-ARNL, which was recently sold and de-registered on 23 July 2021.
