C152 Crash in BC

[pelmet]

C-FOOU, a Principal Air Limited Cessna 152, was conducting a cross-country training flight from
Abbotsford Airport (CYXX), BC, under visual flight rules, to South Cariboo/108 Mile Aerodrome
(CZML), BC, via Squamish Municipal Airport/Don Patrick Field, (CYSE), BC, and Pemberton
Aerodrome (CYPS), BC, with 1 pilot and 1 passenger on board. The pilot completed the first legs
of the flight without incident. While en route to CZML the pilot made a landing and short stop at
Echo Valley Aerodrome (CBJ4), BC. CBJ4 was not on the flight plan, and no prior notice was
provided to the aerodrome operator as required and noted in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS).
The airport elevation is 3650 feet, the temperature was greater than 20°C and the first 2000 feet of
Runway 07, used for takeoff on the occurrence flight, had a 4° upslope. The pilot taxied into
position with approximately 250 feet of runway behind the aircraft and used a short field take-off
technique. Shortly after liftoff, the aircraft stalled, collided with trees, and impacted terrain
approximately 300 meters beyond the paved end of the runway. The electronic locator transmitter
(ELT) signal was relayed to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Victoria. Two aircraft were
dispatched to assist but were recalled when it was determined that local first responders arrived on
scene. Both occupants were seriously injured; the pilot was taken to hospital in Kamloops by air
ambulance, and the passenger was taken to the hospital by ground ambulance. The aircraft was
substantially damaged.

A couple of quick questions.... what was the date of the event and what was the source of the information?

Thanks

I'm guessing it was Aug 19, as there is a flightaware track to Squamish on that date. Temp was around 19C at Clinton.

CFS says there is an unmarked power lines, fence, rising terrain and numerous trees to 60ft AGL to the east, as well as the 4 degree upslope. No mention of any hazards to the west, so it's a bit unclear why they took off in that direction (other than, perhaps, it involved less taxiing).

Thanks Cpn..... wasn't finding much on media for this one.
