Only minor injuries have been reported after a plane crashed into a lake near Sault Ste. Marie.
Sault OPP, Batchewana First Nation Police, the Anishinabek Police Service Marine Unit, and District of Sault Ste. Marie Paramedic Services responded yesterday, after a Challenger 2 Ultralight aircraft crashed into Lake George, in the Squirrel Island area.
Officials say the aircraft capsized and sank, though the pilot - its sole occupant - escaped and was picked up by a nearby boat, which transported him to shore so he could be taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The Transportation Safety Board's been notified, with an investigation underway.
