Indiana Jones star Christian Oliver has sadly died in a horror plane crash, along with his two daughters.
In a horror moment, the 51-year-old was travelling by plane when the vehicle crashed off an island in the Caribbean. His daughters Madita and Annik, aged 10 and 12, were also killed. Pilot Robert Sachs also sadly didn’t survive the crash.
Their tiny aircraft crashed into the waters off Bequia, part of St Vincent. Horror footage was captured of the plane crashing into the sea.

Christian had more than 60 IMDb credits, including in major Hollywood flicks like Speed Racer and Valkyrie. He first made his name in cult teen show Saved by the Bell: The New Class, from 1995. One of his latest roles was in the last Indiana Jones film, Dial of Destiny.
Christian produced the 2021 horror film Wrong Turn, and appeared in TV shows including cult hit Sense8 and Law & Order over the years.
The plane carrying the four passengers had just one engine, and took off from F Mitchell Airport headed to nearby St Lucia. In footage captured by one eyewitness, voices can be heard yelling: “The plane crashed – call the coastguard!”
A statement released by The Royal St. Vincent and Grenadines Police Force said: “Moments after taking off, the aircraft experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean.
“Fishermen and divers from Paget Farm went to the scene of the incident in their boats to render assistance.” All four bodies were recovered.
The plane’s last communication was pilot Sachs – who owned the plane – radioing the tower to tell them he was having trouble and decided to turn back. But he never managed – and what caused the devastating incident is still unknown and under investigation.
