VERMILION – A pilot and passenger have died in a plane crash near an airport in central Alberta.
RCMP say they were dispatched to the crash shortly after noon on Saturday, and the plane was located approximately 1.2 kilometres short of the local airport runway in Vermilion, Alta.
Police say there were two occupants in the plane — the 46-year-old female pilot who was a resident of Slave Lake, Alta., and a 76-year-old male passenger, a resident of Mannville, Alta.
Neither survived the crash.
Cpl. Gina Slaney said she did not know the aircraft type, but said it was small.
Police say the Transportation Safety Board will be investigating what happened.
