Plane flips over in lake
No one was injured when a pontoon plane flipped over while landing on Conestogo Lake on Monday morning.
Wellington County OPP reported officers responded to a report of a float plane that had flipped over on the lake while landing on June 3 at around 9:22am.
Firefighters from Mapleton Fire Department and paramedics from Guelph-Wellington EMS also responded to the scene.
When police arrived, both occupants were observed sitting on top of the plane wearing their personal flotation devices. Mapleton firefighters used their vessel and picked up the occupants, who were uninjured.
The Transportation Safety Bureau and RCC Trenton were notified, but did not attend the scene. The Grand River Conservation Authority later removed the plane from the water.
Police said the investigation is continuing.
