Durham Regional Police officers say two people have non-life-threatening injuries after an airplane crashed in a field near Uxbridge Saturday morning.

CityNews received reports the small airplane ended up in a field near Highway 12 and Durham Regional Highway 47.

A police spokesperson told CityNews emergency crews were called to the scene at around 10:30 a.m.

The representative said two people were able to exit the airplane and both were in non-life-threatening condition.

The circumstances leading up to the crash weren’t immediately clear.
