Cessna crashes into a 100 Mile House parking lot

100 MILE HOUSE (NEWS1130) – A bizarre plane accident in downtown 100 Mile House Saturday afternoon.

A Cessna 172 crash landed in the parking lot.

Jay at the South Cariboo Visitor Centre says he first heard the plane flying low, then heard crashing sounds.

He says he rushed out to see it had landed beside a Chinese restaurant.

“Their sign got taken out,” he explains. “It clipped the top of the sign and then crashed into the parking lot, missed a couple of cars and I think it actually hit one truck, slid across this parking lot and hit the side of this building.”

He says he saw three people emerge from the plane, with only minor injuries.

But he points out people on the ground could have been hurt. “In talking with the people in the crowd, a guy said it went right over his head. Another woman was having a smoke right outside the restaurant where it happened.”

It’s not known what kind of difficulty the plane was having, or where it was coming from.
