A woman in her 20s has died after being struck by a plane on route 125, near Saint-Esprit in Quebec’s Lanaudière region on Monday.
Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Marc Tessier said the young woman was mowing the lawn aboard a tractor and she was hit when the pilot was performing a landing maneuver. The pilot allegedly did not see her.
The incident occurred on the grounds of Parachute Montreal.
The woman was taken to the nearby hospital, where her death was confirmed in the middle of the afternoon. Tessier said the pilot of the plane was also taken to hospital to treat a “violent nervous shock” but did not suffer serious injuries.
An investigation is underway to determine the causes and circumstances of the collision.
