  "account": "An emergency landing at a Prince George road occurred on Thursday afternoon due to a Beech King Air 200 airplane losing power in one of its engines. The aircraft, registration C-GEDV, departed from Sturdee Airstrip in north-central British Columbia at 1:25 p.m. PT with six passengers and two crew members aboard. The flight's intended destination was Prince George's airport.\n\nDuring the flight, the plane experienced engine failure, prompting the pilot to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard. The incident resulted in a collision between the plane and four vehicles. Sadly, one individual in a vehicle lost their life due to the collision. However, the crew and passengers on the plane sustained no injuries.\n\nPrince George RCMP confirmed that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has assumed the investigation. Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, the media relations officer for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, emphasized that the area remains a high-security zone due to the ongoing investigation. She strongly advised the public to maintain a safe distance and avoid interfering with the ongoing proceedings. Cooper also warned that any obstruction or mischief could potentially result in legal consequences for those present at the scene. The section of Foothills Boulevard continues to be closed to public access.",
