Narrative:At 1545Z, YKA FIC received a call from APM CYVK indicating that an American corporately registered I-Tech Maverick SP Powered Parachute on a local flight from Vernon, BC (CYVK) had crashed on approach 1-2nm from runway 23. Emergency Services were on the scene.
UPDATE: An ITEC manufactured and US-registered powered parachute, model Maverick SP, lost control as it turned base leg while on approach to runway 23 of the Vernon, BC airport (CYVK). The lines which attach to the trailing edge of the left-hand side of the parachute wing had become tangled before the aircraft departed Vernon. Video and photos show the left wing being deformed in flight.
As the aircraft turned base leg the left-hand side of the wing collapsed and the car spun down impacting a fence and tree in a school yard. Both pilot and passenger suffered minor injuries
