A RCMP Cessna 182 with two officers was returning to Edmonton Municipal Airport after assisting on an operational file in Calgary. The aircraft took off from Calgary at 13:55 into deteriorating weather of low clouds and snow. At around 14:10 as the aircraft was flying approximately 75-100 ft above the ground it made a left turn to return to Calgary because of the weather. As it was turning it struck a guy-wire from a phone tower. Three feet of the wing was sheared off and the wreckage was located about 2000 ft from the tower.
