SANFORD, Man.–Two men have died in a small plane crash in Manitoba.
RCMP said the single-engine Cessna took off yesterday from St. Andrews, north of Winnipeg, and was reported overdue at its destination in Winkler.
Police, along with a Canadian Armed Forces search-and-rescue team, eventually found the wreckage near Brunkild, about 45 km southwest of Winnipeg.
RCMP said searchers used snowmobiles in what were poor weather conditions with low visibility.
The 60-year-old and 41-year-old victims both were from Winkler, and police said they were the only people on board.
