Six people are alive after a small plane they were travelling in hit a hill and crashed into a snowy field north of the community of Kisbey, Sask.
Emergency crews received a call about a plane going down at about 10:13 a.m. CST. Paramedics were on scene helping with injured passengers.
Early reports state there were six people on the aircraft and they all survived.
Bev McArthur was minutes from the location and saw the aftermath of the crash.
"I guess apparently…it hit one of the hills and then it must have slid over there or something," she told CBC News.
Her daughter Armanda McArthur was also nearby.
"From the way that we saw it from the main grid road it looked fine, but I guess on the other side it was missing a wing," she said. "I didn't see any major wreckage around it or anything like that."
"It looked fine, but I guess it was flying too low and that's where they crashed, just north of my parents," Armanda continued.
RCMP said they don't know at this point where the plane took off from or where it was going.
Transport Canada has been called.
The crash scene is located about eight kilometres north of the community of Kisbey and about 100 metres from Highway 605.
Kisbey is located about 87 kilometres east of Weyburn, Sask.
