Hanna RCMP, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and the Department of National Defence teamed up on Tuesday to investigate a plane crash.

On July 30 at approximately 1:27 a.m., RCMP responded with Hanna EMS and the Hanna Fire Department to a report that a small airplane crashed at the Hanna Airport.

Mounties say the male pilot was transported to local hospital with non-life threatening injuries and was later released.

Police say there was only one occupant in the plane at the time of the crash, with the cause determined as non-criminal and the scene now cleared.

Mounties say the plane is approximately 50 metres from the runway and will be removed today (Tuesday).
