traveling crashed in Bonaventure.
The device, a small
single-seater aircraft crashed at about 20: 45 pm Friday night, close to the
track Bonaventure Airport. Police found the death of the driver on the spot.
The Bureau of
Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirms that this is an amateur-built
aircraft. A TSB team is in Bonaventure to examine the aircraft and determine
whether further investigation should be conducted.
According to the
regional manager for Quebec TSB, Jean-Marc Ledoux, it is too early to speculate
on the causes of the crash.
"Very few
assumptions we made for now. It would be pure speculation to advance "
- Jean-Marc Ledoux,
Regional Manager for Quebec Security Office of Transport
Mr Ledoux, however,
that the amateur-built aircraft are not necessarily less safe.
"In Quebec,
there are many people who have this type of device then says Ledoux. I could
not say that it is less safe. It all depends on [how] it the owner maintenance.
If he follows the rules, there is no problem. "
