Transportation Safety Board investigating fatal small plane crash in Ottawa

Transportation Safety Board investigators and Ottawa police are probing a plane crash in Ottawa’s south end that killed two men.

The Cessna 177 Cardinal broke into pieces and crashed in a field near the RCMP headquarters in Barrhaven on Wednesday night as it approached Ottawa International Airport.

The two men, aged 64 and 55, were found in the wreckage.

The flight plan for the plane shows it took off from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., just after 5 p.m. bound for Ottawa.

The airport says an incoming four-seater plane disappeared from the radar on approach for landing around 7:15 p.m. It was found in a field about 45 minutes later.

The crash knocked down several power lines and more than 2,600 customers in the area were without electricity for several hours.
