Small plane crashes at Delta’s Boundary Bay Airport

Plane appears to have suffered 'significant' damage, says freelancer

Emergency crews were called to Boundary Bay Airport Saturday morning (April 10) after a small plane crashed.

A Black Press Media freelancer on scene said the plane crashed in a grassy area on the northeast side of the airport, just after 11:30 a.m.

He added the plane caught fire, and Delta Fire Rescue responded along with Delta Police and BC Emergency Health Services. Crews were able to “quickly contain the fire,” he said.

He said one person was transported to hospital with “undetermined injuries.” There is no word yet on how many people were in the plane at the time of the crash.

The plane, he noted, appears to have “suffered significant damage.”
