Alex Garneau was in a vehicle that was hit by a twin-engine aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard on Thursday.
Support is flooding in for the family of a mother of two who tragically lost her life in a plane crash that occurred in Prince George last week. On Thursday, a twin-engine Beech King Air 200 aircraft made an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard after one of its engines failed. The aircraft, registration C-GEDV, had departed from Sturdee Airstrip in north-central British Columbia en route to Prince George's airport with two crew members and six passengers on board.
The incident forced the plane to land on the busy boulevard, resulting in severe damage to a vehicle and piercing the rear seat with a metal pole. Ten individuals were treated at the scene by B.C. Emergency Health Services, with two being taken to the hospital. RCMP in Prince George have informed the Transportation Safety Board of Canada that the investigation has now been taken over.
A GoFundMe campaign has been established to aid the mother of two and her family, and it has already surpassed its $100,000 goal. The tragic incident has garnered widespread support from the community, with numerous people offering condolences and assistance.
