One person was seriously injured after a small plane crashed on a private airstrip in central Alberta. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says the two-seater was flying Tuesday from Wetaskiwin to Linden, a town about 100 kilometres northeast of Calgary.
The agency says the plane was approaching the rural airstrip when its fixed landing gear hit a fence and flipped.
RCMP say two 82-year-old men were on board. They say one was airlifted to hospital in serious condition and the other was taken by ground ambulance with minor injuries.
The safety board did not send investigators to the scene but says it's gathering information to assess the crash.
