In a tragic incident in southern Alberta, two people lost their lives in a plane crash on Saturday. The single-engine Cirrus SR22, on an instrument flight from Springbank, AB to Campbell River, BC, crashed near Mount McDougall in Kananaskis Country approximately 25 minutes after taking off. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) has reported that the investigation into the crash is facing challenges due to adverse weather conditions and the remote location of the crash site, which is about 55 kilometres west-southwest of the departure airport.

As of Sunday morning, the RCMP stated that the bodies of the two deceased occupants had not been recovered.
