A float plane crash near Refuge Cove only led to minor injuries.
The Powell River RCMP received a report of the crash at around 7:06 p.m. on Monday.
The plane had three people on board and was landing near Refuge Cove as part of a sightseeing tour.
The people were able to get out of the plane’s cabin and climb onto a pontoon for safety, with multiple boats coming to rescue them within minutes.
Despite the crash, the three people suffered only minor injuries. They were taken to Campbell River by the Coast Guard for treatment.
While the weather might have been partially responsible for this incident, officers say Transport Canada will investigate further.
