Three people are confirmed dead after a float plane crash north of Peachland off the Okanagan connector last night.
Transportation Safety Board and Coroners’ service crews are getting to work after the BC Forest Service has spent much of the day making it safe to do so.
The goal is to try and figure out what happened that lead to the crash.
But that may prove difficult, as there was no flight recorder on board, and since the wreckage burst into flames, there is not much to work.
Coroner Barb McClintock says the large fire that accompanied the crash makes the investigation that much more difficult.
“As I think everybody knows, because there was so many witnesses to it, there was a pretty massive fire down there last night, and that does sometimes make that sort of determination a bit more difficult to do than it might otherwise be. Same sort of problem the Transportation Safety Board has in determining the actual crash”.
Names of the victims have not been released.
