Four people are dead and one man is injured after a plane crash south of St. Theresa Point First Nation on Saturday evening.
Manitoba RCMP say the aircraft, which left St. Theresa Point and was bound for Makepeace Lake, went down about 40 kilometres from the community around 6:45 p.m.
A 20-year-old pilot was airlifted with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. His four passengers — two men, aged 53 and 49, and two women, both 50 — all from St. Theresa Point, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Search and rescue crews from CFB Trenton assisted with the response. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating.
