Three people on board a light plane that crashed near Tooradin Airport, south-east of Melbourne, have escaped without injury.
Ambulance Victoria said it assessed three people at the scene, but no-one needed to be taken to hospital.
The plane ended up in a ditch, and aerial images show it appeared to have suffered serious damage.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 1:40pm.
A Country Fire Authority (CFA) spokesman said the single-engine aircraft ran into the ditch while it was landing at the Tooradin Airport.
He said no-one had been trapped in the wreckage and only one CFA tanker was needed to monitor leaking fuel.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has been called to assess the impact of the fuel leak into the water canal.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said the SR20 plane was being piloted by a woman.
He said the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) was in the process of gathering more information about the incident.
