A pilot suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a plane crash in northern Manitoba Thursday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m., a Beech 95-55 plane was returning to Thompson from Thicket Portage when the aircraft experienced electrical problems, said an official with the Transportation Safety Board.
The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the plane, tried to divert the aircraft to Pikwitonei, southeast of Thompson, but it crashed east of the community's airport, said Peter Hildebrand of the TSB. The plane sustained significant damage.
The plane had previously dropped off passengers at Thicket Portage and had experienced some electrical problems at the time.
Officials with the Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
