Plane crash in front of ONroute near Ontario/Quebec border leaves two people seriously injured

Ontario Provincial Police says a plane in Cornwall, Ontario, crashed on the median of Highway 401, injuring two people (OPP).

On Monday evening, a Cessna 150 reportedly crashed in front of the Bainsville ONRoute around 8:15 p.m. after attempting an emergency landing on the highway near the Ontario-Quebec border.

The federal Transportation Safety Board (TSB) launched an investigation into the crash’s causes.

“They attempted to do an emergency landing on the 401,” Isabelle Langevin, the TSB’s director of regional operations for Quebec, said to CTV News Ottawa. “While lining up to land on the highway they struck a power line that crosses the highway south to north at that particular spot and following that collision, the aircraft collided with the ground.”

One passenger, a 39-year-old man, was airlifted to a nearby hospital in serious condition while the second, reportedly a man in his 20s according to Ornge air ambulance, is in life-threatening condition, said acting Sgt. Erin Cranton, a spokesperson for the OPP.

The plane had taken off from the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Airport in Quebec, about 17 kilometres east of the crash.

Police shut down the highway after the crash. 511 Ontario Eastern tweeted that police had reopened it around 4:15 a.m.
