Calgary, Canada: Plane makes emergency landing in farmer's field; Both occupants safe, did not require hospital attention

A small plane made an emergency landing in a farmer’s field southeast of Calgary on Sunday afternoon.

Fire and emergency service crews were called to the scene north of Highway 22X, near the community of Dalemead shortly after noon.

Stuart Brideaux with EMS said the pilot and passenger walked away from the crash uninjured.

“Both occupants were able to get under their own power. The aircraft was righted in the field, albeit damaged. But they did not require any assistance getting out and or meeting EMS at the roadside, a little ways away from the actual crash site.”

Brideaux neither the passenger nor the pilot were taken to hospital.

The pilot is now working on how to get his plane out of the field.

RCMP and local fire crews were also called to the scene and an investigation into how the emergency landing happened is underway.
