Occupants of small aircraft taken to hospital with minor injuries…

PRINCE GEORGE, BC: Emergency crews from the Prince George Airport Authority responded to an incident involving a small aircraft just after 9 AM Wednesday…

YXS was notified that a small plane with two people inside, including the pilot, flipped over after it left the 01-19 runway.

When emergency crews arrived on scene they located the plane upside down. Both occupants managed to get out of the plane themselves and taken to UHNBC in Prince George for treatment of minor injuries.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has allowed the airport to remove the plane from the runway.

There was no information regarding delays caused by this incident and a check on the YXS website suggests flights are not impacted.

Today’s fire training at YXS has been scrapped for another time.
