A small plane has crashed on Vancouver Island's west coast, according to RCMP.
Both police and the Transportation Safety Board (TSB), the federal agency that investigates transportation accidents, have shared few details about the incident.
On Wednesday morning, Mounties said they were assisting with a plane crash in the Tahsis Inlet, a remote inlet around 300 kilometres northwest of Victoria, but did not say when the crash occurred, who was involved or if there were any injuries.
The TSB says it's deployed a team to the area.
The small municipality of Tahsis is located at the head of the inlet.
The TSB said in a brief release that it was deploying a team of investigators following an accident involving a Quest Kodiak 100 aircraft.
The single-propeller plane can carry up to 10 people, according to the manufacturer's website.
The TSB is an independent agency that investigates air, marine, pipeline, and rail transportation occurrences, with the aim of improving transportation safety.
