Critically injured passenger dies after small plane crashes in B.C. interior

KAMLOOPS, B.C. – A passenger has died after suffering critical injuries in a small plane crash in British Columbia’s southern interior.

Bill Yearwood with the Transportation Safety Board says the light aircraft crashed on landing near Green Lake, east of 70 Mile House.

He says it’s too soon to speculate about what may have brought down the plane.

Yearwood says the TSB is waiting to interview the pilot but that won’t be any time soon because of the extent of his injuries.

RCMP have responded to the scene.

B.C. Ambulance says it sent two ground ambulances and one air ambulance to transport a critically injured patient. (CFJC, CHNL)
