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.”
