Just hearing reports through Parks Canada, a Plane is down on TCH Highway #1, 4 KM West of Field, possible Injuries, but no calls for Golden BC Resources to respond yet. Field BC Fire/Rescue and PC are responding.

Vancouver News and C News.

"It was an attempted landing on the Trans-Canada Highway and the plane spun out and went into the ditch," five km west of their small town (Town of Field ) near the Alberta-B.C. border.

The plane, a privately-owned and registered aircraft said to be a kit plane, left Abbotsford, B.C., and was bound for Springbank airport.

Seems to be one person on board, taken to Foothills Hospital in Calgary.

You can't get much better than that stretch of highway for a forced landing in the Rocks other than an airport.
