ANAHIM LAKE, B.C. — A Saskatchewan man is dead and four other men were injured after a plane crashed in British Columbia’s central Interior on Monday.

Transportation Safety Board spokesman Bill Yearwood says the de Havilland Beaver aircraft left an airfield in Vanderhoof, B.C., east of Prince George, and was headed to Laidman Lake.

Yearwood says the men were planning on hunting in the remote region.

He says the plane crashed into trees, although the aircraft did not catch fire in the snow-covered area.
