A small plane crashed shortly after takeoff in 100 Mile House, B.C., Saturday afternoon.
Witnesses said the Cessna crashed near Blue Sky Restaurant, located at 477 Alder.
RCMP Const. Lesley Smith said the incident took place at 3:45 p.m.
The pilot and two passengers on board the aircraft were taken to hospital, but were released after treatment for minor injuries, she said.
A witness said she saw the plane hit some wires across a highway, smash into a sign, lose a wing and skid across a parking lot. The wreckage could be seen against the side of a building.

Lesley Smith said the incident took place around 3:45 p.m. Saturday, and the occupants have now been treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries and been released.
"This could have been a tragic event, but at this time we only have the three people on board that suffered injuries and they were minor in nature," said Smith.
Jackie McDonald told a Kamloops radio station that she was outside her place of work when she saw the plane hit some wires across the highway, smash into a sign, lose a wing and skid across a parking lot into a building.
She said one of the occupants was covered in blood.
Smith said she doesn't know the ages of the occupants and the wreckage is now being cleaned up.
Smith said the Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
