Two individuals lost their lives after a small plane crash occurred in southwestern Ontario. Authorities were dispatched to a field near the Beatty Line and Wellington Road 17 intersection, just outside Fergus, approximately 10:15 a.m. on Friday. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) reports that an amateur-built Skybolt biplane took off from the Fergus airport around 10 a.m., participating in a local aerobatic training flight with two experienced pilots on board.
According to the TSB, the aircraft crashed shortly thereafter in a corn field situated 2 kilometers northwest of the airfield, landing in an inverted position.
Provincial police state that a fire erupted following the crash, which was later brought under control. Regrettably, the two occupants of the plane were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims' ages, genders, and hometowns have not been disclosed at this time. The TSB intends to continue investigating the incident in the coming weeks to ascertain the cause of the crash.
