“Our initial information indicates there were multiple people on board the aircraft. The extent of their injuries is currently unknown. We are asking that anyone driving past that area today remember to give emergency crews plenty of room to work if they are on the highway, by slowing down and moving over and to obey flagger signals,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Information is still coming in and more details will be provided as soon as possible.
