Jul 9, 2024 | 3:00 PM

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is investigating after a plane and helicopter collided midair near a small Alberta airport.

Somehow, there were no injuries, the TSB reports.

They say the collision involved a Bell 212 helicopter and a Cessna 172, approximately 13 nautical miles NW of Villeneuve Airport — a 16-minute drive from St. Albert.

The TSB will gather information and assess the occurrence.
