At 7:52 am a single-engine, crop-duster airplane crashed on a farm near Aylsham, leaving the pilot unharmed but the plane severely damaged.
The 66-year-old pilot from Carrot River left the crash without injury, and said the plane crashed while he was making a turn and one of his wheels hit the ground. This is said to have caused the plane to spin out and crash.
Nipawin RCMP arrived at the field at 8:00 am and have advised Transport Canada of the crash. This afternoon RCMP issued a press release stating no one was hurt and no environmental damage was caused by the crash.
The incident is currently under investigation by Transport Canada.
