The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has determined the cause of a plane crash that killed two residents of Rocky Mountain House over the weekend.
An update posted to the TSB website states that the two-seat amateur-built Harmon Rocket II aircraft carrying Ken Fowler and Hannalei Eder was conducting a low level flight when it struck power lines.
The plane then hit the ground about 22 km northwest of Thorsby. There was a post-impact fire and the aircraft was destroyed.
The TSB continues to investigate.
