An
investigation will be launched to determine why a small plane with a
trainee pilot crashed last night near Highway 10 and Grub Road, between
Fredericton and Minto.
The
Fredericton Fire Department says phone contact was made with the pilot
who was found near by after an extensive search in dense brush and then
was airlifted to hospital for medical treatment. He's listed in critical
condition.
The
pilot is in his 20's but his name has not been released. He managed to
crawl out of the wreckage and called for help on his cellphone.
Meantime,
on the east side, there was a two vehicle collision yesterday afternoon
at 340 Loch Lomand Road. One person was taken to hospital.
