One person was killed in a plane crash in eastern Alberta on Wednesday.
Emergency crews in Kitscoty, Alta. got a call around 10 a.m. from nearby Rivercourse, Alta., that a personal plane had crashed shortly after takeoff near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
Crews from both provinces located the wreckage shortly afterwards.
The 46-year-old man flying the plane, the sole occupant, was declared dead at the scene.
Transport Canada has now taken over the investigation.
Rivercourse is about 275 kilometres east of Edmonton.
