Four people were taken to hospital. Three were transported as a precaution and one suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

“They were just coming back from a sight seeing tour of the area,” explained OPP Sgt. James Shay. “I don’t know how long they were gone for. They were scheduled to land at or before 6 o’clock.”

The affected stretch of McLaughlin Road was closed off for more than two hours. Debris was cleared from the road and a railway line along it was inspected for any damage.

“It could have been much worse,” Shay said.
