The pilot of a small aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing on a Manitoba highway Thursday evening.
Manitoba RCMP say the TBM 8 single-engine aircraft, which departed The Pas earlier in the day, was en route to Brandon when the pilot touched down on Highway 45 east of Sandy Lake at around 7:10 p.m.
The crash-landing put the plane into a ditch on the north side of the road.
Four people were on board, with one of them being taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The Transportation Safety Board was informed of the incident.
