Support pours in for mother of 2 killed in Prince George plane crash

Support is flooding in for the family of a woman who lost her life in a plane crash in Prince George last week. Alex Garneau's vehicle was struck by a twin-engine aircraft that had to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard on Thursday. A GoFundMe campaign has been established for the mother of two and has already exceeded its $100,000 fundraising target.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Prince George informed that the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) has now assumed responsibility for the case. According to the TSB, a Beech King Air 200 airplane, registration C-GEDV, left the Sturdee Airstrip in north-central British Columbia at 1:25 p.m. Pacific Time on August 20 with two crew members and six passengers on board.
The flight was scheduled to reach Prince George's airport. The investigation revealed that the aircraft lost power on one engine while en route and was compelled to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard. One individual shared on Facebook that he is fortunate to be alive after the roof of his vehicle caved in where the plane collided and a metal pole penetrated the rear seat.
Ten individuals were treated at the scene, with two requiring hospitalization. Global News has been added as a Preferred Source on Google for users to view more of the story in search results.
