Plane crash reports in Morrisburg appear false: Ontario Provincial Police

CORNWALL, Ontario - Reports of a plane crash near Morrisburg appear to be false, OPP said Friday night.

OPP Const. Tylor Copeland told Seaway News there was a report of a plane crash, perhaps a glider, near Highway 401 between 6 and 7 p.m.

But search crews, including search and rescue aircraft out of CFB Trenton, combed the area and could find nothing.

"It looks like it's nothing. No one is overdue," said Copeland. "Everything has been looked at, at this point."

Tweets and Facebook posts expressed concern about a potential aircraft crash, and there were videos of search planes and helicopters flying over the area.
