There are no injuries, following a small plane crash near Warminister.
A small Cessna plane crashed in a field along the 13 Line near Warminister Sideroad on Sunday, just after 4 p.m.
“Was trying to make it back to Bass Lake, about a mile from Bass Lake, when I lost the engine and had to look for a field and we weren’t very high, so we were under 1,400 feet,” says pilot Grant Bergstrome.
The plane landed upside down in the farmer’s field. The 59-year-old, pilot and his two children were not injured in the crash.
“We only had a few fields to choose from and none of them were big enough to land a plane in and around here and I just didn’t want to hit those power lines out there or the highway and I came down a little faster and I hit the ground going a little too fast and I couldn’t keep it from rolling.”
This is the second plane crash in three days. On Friday, a small plane crashed in Orangeville after hitting a hydro pole.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been notified and is investigating.
