A pilot is dead after a small plane he was flying crashed west of Ottawa Monday, OPP say.
The plane went down around noon in a densely wooded area between Calabogie and Griffith, about a two hour drive west of Ottawa. Police said they used using all-terrain vehicles to access the site.
The cause of the crash is still unknown.
“Something must have happened because he was an excellent pilot” the plane’s owner, Lorenzo Girones, said in a phone interview with CTV.
Girones said the pilot was from Port Elgin and was flying to Goderich to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family.
