The plane was a single occupant glider plane, and the 57 year old male pilot from Marsden, S received only minor injuries and was taken to hospital in Wainwright, AB. The pilot of the glider plane had tried to make an emergency landing on a secondary road and in the process hit a power line in the area of the crash site which was on one of the RM roads.
The plane has since been pulled off the road and into a field close by.
Local press and media reported the aircraft as "a small glider plane": the CADORS report states that the aircraft involved as a Rans S-4 Coyote I.
