The incident occurred on Nov. 13 in the early evening hours east of Ponoka.
It appears the small plane, a twin propellor Cessna model RAM-340A Series VII, crash-landed in a field and then skidded several hundred metres before ending in a small copse of trees on the west side of Range Road 250.
A look at the plane shows that the tail was ripped off when the it hit the trees. It ended faced the other direction where damage was done to the propellors and portions of the wings.
The rear and right side of the plane received some damage while the front of the plane appears to be intact.
This is not an RCMP file. Ponoka News has contacted Transport Canada for more details on the cause of the crash.
