Plane lands on roadway in Prince George
Few details are available at this time, but the City of Prince George said that Fire and Rescue Services are currently responding to a "serious motor vehicle incident."
On a recent afternoon, a plane made an emergency landing on a roadway in Prince George, resulting in one fatality and two injuries. The incident occurred at approximately 2:20 p.m. on Foothills Boulevard, situated about 1.5 kilometres north of North Nechako Road. Upon arrival, the RCMP discovered two vehicles involved in the event, with one person losing their life.
Authorities are appealing to the public to avoid the crash site, emphasizing that it is an active investigation and their presence would impede the work of police officers and disrupt other emergency calls. The Foothills Boulevard has been shut down for traffic in both directions, both for the remainder of the day and into Friday, prompting drivers to seek alternative routes.
The Transportation Safety Board has taken over the investigation, though the cause of the emergency landing remains undisclosed.
