Narrative:
Police in British Columbia say one person is dead and another is in hospital after a Stinson 108-3 Voyager float plane crashed into Upper Arrow Lake, near Nakusp — about 200 kilometres northeast of Kelowna.

According to RCMP Cpl. Annie Linteau, the Stinson crashed into Upper Arrow Lake about 500 metres off shore at approximately 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. She said one of the men was taken to hospital for "assessment" while the other succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash.

Linteau said the plane likely was attempting to land when it crashed, but the cause has yet to be determined.

The RCMP has called in a dive team and also has asked for the assistance of local search-and-rescue services.


Linteau said the plane had been attached to a tug boat and still partially submerged.
