RCMP say two men aboard a small plane that crash landed in a field north of Tronson Road Wednesday afternoon are okay. The plane was leaving the airport when it suffered engine trouble, said Cst. Richard Lausman, who was at the scene of the crash. The pilot tried but failed to land at the airport and took the aircraft down in a field. Lausman said an adult father and son were on board the plane. He could not say if they were from the Vernon area. He said neither man suffered serious injuries. A City of Vernon release stated the two-seater aircraft was 300 feet in the air when it experienced mechanical difficulties shortly after takeoff around 3:30 p.m. The plane sustained damage to the landing gear and one wing upon landing. One person suffered minor injuries.
