A young pilot has been rushed to hospital following a light plane crash.

Just before 12.30 on Sunday emergency services were called by members of the public to the crash scene at Tumbulgum Rd at Tygalgah near the town of Murwillumbah in northern NSW.

Miraculously the 20-year-old pilot of the downed craft appeared to suffer no more than minor injuries.
