Plane crashes in Delta , B.C., heritage air park, both passengers OK

DELTA, B.C. – Two people walked away from a small plane crash in Delta, B.C.

Delta police say a Second-World-War-era plane crashed while trying to take off at the city’s heritage air park.

Sgt. Brad Cooper says the single-propeller, two-seater craft appeared to lose control and ran into a treeline.

Cooper says both passengers suffered minor injuries and save for a few trees and shrubs, no property was damaged.

He says weather conditions were clear and the grass runway appeared to be dry.

Cooper says there were no explosions and no fire, and the Transportation Safety Board has taken over the investigation.
