No Cause of Crash

It appears we may never know what actually caused a plane crash earlier this month near Lumby that killed two brothers. 53 year old Thomas "Pete" Huwer and his 45 year old brother Joe died September 5th when a home built aircraft crashed and caught fire in a field near Mabel Lake. Regional coroner Bruce Chamberlayne says at this point all he can say is the two died as a result of injuries. He plans to have a final report on the crash later this year. The Transportation Safety Board won't be investigating the cause, saying it's a "class five" crash and they've gathered all the data they need. Police are also no longer involved. The weather may have been a factor as the winds were heavy at the time.
