Crews moving plane that crashed in Innisfil to Orillia today

CTV Barrie: TSB investigating crash The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating a plane crash that happened in Innisfil June 8, 2013.

The pilot of a Cessna 208 that crashed near Innisfil, Ont. Saturday, June 8, 2013 has been released from hospital and is home recovering.

The 53-year-old pilot works for the Toronto Skydiving Club and they say today he suffered minor cuts and bruises but is OK.

He was the only person in the plane at the time of the crash.

The pilot was heading back for a landing after letting off a couple of skydivers when the plane came down in a field short of the runway.

The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada was on scene last night and say they are looking into what might have caused the crash and hope to speak to the pilot soon.

"We're gathering information, facts ..." says TSB investigator Peter Rowntree, "to determine whether or not the Transportation Safety Board will conduct a full investigation into this incident or whether it's case-closed."

Manager of Media Relations John Cottreau says the decision to investigate will be made after the investigator has “had a closer look at the plane and a chat with the pilot.”

Cottreau says arrangements have been made to move the plane to Orillia today. Rowntree will be looking to speak to the pilot this week.

South Simcoe Police is also asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to call.
