TSB Investigating Pickle Lake Plane Crash

Two investigators from the Transportation Safety Board are looking into the cause of a small plane crash that killed three people Tuesday night near Pickle Lake.

OPP say the aircraft crashed just before 7:30 in the woods as it was approaching the Pickle Lake Airport.

Peter Hildebrand, a transportation safety official, says weather doesn't appear to have been a problem.

One survivor was airlifted to hospital in Winnipeg for treatment of minor injuries.

The names of the deceased won't be released until the family is notified.

Hildebrand says it was a private plane, a Laker LA-250 that went down.
