RCMP said there were two people on the plane and no one was injured.
Chief Kelly Starling with the Claresholm Fire Department confirmed emergency crews were called to respond to reports of a plane crash.
Global News spoke to a man from the nearby Parkland Hutterite Colony who knew of the crash. He said a man inside the plane used a phone on the colony to call 911. Someone from the community then drove him home.
