A small plane crash killed its pilot 10 kilometres north of the Town of Stead. Just northeast of Winnipeg Canada. RCMP said the man was the plane's only occupant but did not release his name, age or hometown, pending notification of next of kin.
A whitness saw a small, four-passenger plane spiral towards the ground near Highway 59, about 1.5 kilometres away. "I heard a plane. It sounded like it was in trouble. The engine was hissing and sputtering and then I saw it go down and start spiraling. Then I lost sight of him and heard a thunk. It was the sound of pulling a plunger out of something but very loud."
Emergency crews are on scene but RCMP are not releasing a statement.
Officials are awaiting the arrival of the Transport Safety Board of Canada.
