Narrative:
Two private planes carrying five people collided in mid-air near St. Brieux, northeast of Saskatoon, killing all five occupants on board.

A Lake LA-4-200 Buccaneer, with 2 POB, was flying from Regina International Airport - CYQR, SK, to La Ronge (Barber Field) Airport - CYVC, SK, and collided with a Piper PA-28R-200 Cherokee Arrow II (C-GLAJ, c/n 28R-7435312), with three POB, that was flying from an airstrip near Mossleigh, AB, and approaching St. Brieux Airport - CKK2, SK.

The remains of the Lake LA-4-200 Buccaneer were located by a farmer in a swampy area surrounded by trees and a thick, wooded area, and the remains of the Piper PA-28R-200 Cherokee Arrow II were discovered in a wooded swamp about two kilometres east from the other crash site.
