Small Plane Crash Near Carp Airport Leaves Passengers Unscathed

Nicolas DeFazio, public information officer for the Ottawa Fire Department, said firefighters headed to the scene after receiving a call just before 1 p.m. “[They] could see that the plane had crashed in [airport’s] south side, but there was no visible smoke or flames, which is always a good sign, “said DeFazio. As they approached the plane, firefighters realized that the pilot and passenger had already made their way back inside the airport and no fuel had leaked. THE pic.twitter.com/CNHGENC5Fl – @ OttFire
Rescuers assessed the two passengers and said no one was taken to hospital. The plane veered off the runway as it landed, DeFazio said, jumping into a ditch. Photographs of the crash show a yellow aircraft with a damaged nose and wing. DeFazio said he was grateful the passengers were able to get away, which is not always the case when the mission receives calls about plane crashes. “For both the dispatchers and the firefighters, I can tell you that your heart is beating faster,” he said.
