TSB Probes Plane Accident Near Mission in 3rd Deployment to B.C. This Month
The agency said the incident is its third aviation deployment in British Columbia this month.
Transportation Safety Board investigators arrived in Mission, British Columbia, on Thursday to assess a small aircraft accident that occurred Wednesday, about 70 kilometres southeast of Vancouver.
As an independent federal agency, the TSB investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences across Canada to improve safety and determine causes of incidents.
Emergency Health Services responded to the accident site on Stave Lake Road in Hatzic around 10:30 p.m., deploying paramedics. No patients were transported to hospital.
This marks the third TSB deployment to British Columbia this month following a mid-air collision over Chilliwack and a fatal emergency landing in Prince George last week.
The agency is gathering information at the site to assess what happened and determine the cause, with full details expected once the on-site evaluation concludes.
