The plane came down around 12:15 p.m. near Ferme-Neuve, Que., about 200 kilometres northwest of Montreal.

Patrol officers on all-terrain vehicles found the plane and its occupants about two hours later with help from the local fire department.

Sgt. Camille Savoie says the pilot and three passengers suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.

Savoie says the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been notified of the crash, adding that a mechanical issue could be at fault.
