The plane crashed behind a motel near the airport, killing the pilot and everyone on board, Sgt. Pete Healey said.

It’s still unknown what caused the Piper PA-34 Seneca, a twin-engined light aircraft to crash.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it’s sending investigators.
“The scene is contained and there were no other reported injuries or risks to the public in the area,” RCMP said in a news release.
