Overview
- The twin‑engine Beech King Air 200 departed Sturdee Airstrip with two crew and six passengers and made an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard around 2:20–2:30 p.m. on Aug. 20 after losing power to one engine.
- The aircraft struck four northbound vehicles during the landing and police confirmed one occupant of a vehicle died; several other people were treated and two were taken to hospital in stable condition.
- No injuries were reported among the plane’s two crew and six passengers, who were able to exit the aircraft; witnesses described heavy damage to vehicle roofs and a propeller found in the roadway.
- The airplane is registered as C‑GEDV and has been listed to Sekani Air Ltd. since October 2025; federal records show the same airframe had a cabin depressurization incident in January 2024 that was investigated and returned to service.
- Foothills Boulevard remains closed while the Transportation Safety Board documents the scene, interviews witnesses and gathers evidence, and officials have urged the public to avoid the area as the technical investigation continues.
