SANDY LAKE – RCMP say one person has been taken to hospital after a small passenger plane made an emergency landing on a highway in Manitoba.
They say the single-engine plane was carrying four people and was headed to Brandon from The Pas on Thursday evening.
The pilot made the landing on Highway 45 near Sandy Lake, about 270 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
Police say the plane came to a stop in a ditch, and one person was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
RCMP didn’t say what caused the emergency but that officers had been alerted to a small plane in distress.
They say the Transportation Safety Board has been notified.
