Support is pouring in for the family of a woman killed in a Prince George plane crash last week.
Alex Garneau was in a vehicle that was hit by a twin-engine aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard on Thursday.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the mother of two and has already surpassed its $100,000 goal.
RCMP in Prince George said the Transportation Safety Board has now taken over the case.
They said a Beech King Air 200 airplane, registration C-GEDV, departed the Sturdee Airstrip in north-central B.C. at 1:25 p.m. PT on Aug. 20 with two crew members and six passengers on board.

The flight was destined for Prince George’s airport.
Investigators said that while en route, the aircraft lost power on one engine and was forced to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard.
The aircraft collided with four vehicles.
One man posted on Facebook that he’s lucky to be alive after the roof of his vehicle caved in where the plane hit and a metal pole pierced the rear seat.
B.C. Emergency Health Services said 10 people were treated at the scene and two were taken to the hospital.

Seriously? Have you ever heard of a plane that’s about to land that’s at 19,000ft? Do you actually think before you comment?
I get it. You have a sad, pathetic life, and your only outlet is writing stupid comments on the internet. At least none of us have to deal with you in person, as it’s highly unlikely you’re allowed outside on your own.
I dont think the plane hit her, pretty sure she got distracted and crashed on her own.
Women arent great at multitasking or keeping calm under pressure.
Add a plane landing to a highway with women on the road, the little chickens will get themselves killed on their own.
Hopefully that pilots in trouble for ditching on a busy road.
aircraft should be able to maintain fight at 19,000 feet – on one engine.
what is it we do not know.
