The plane was flying from Vancouver International Airport to the Trail Regional Airport with two crew members and 19 passengers aboard.

When the plane began its approach to land in Trail, one of the airport’s vehicles was performing an inspection on the same runway.

The TSB says the vehicle was able to move to the main apron just before the Beechraft reached the runway/taxiway intersection, avoiding a collision.

The agency says there were no injuries and no damage to the aircraft.

The investigation is ongoing.
