NEAR MISSION, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Canada’s Transportation Safety Board has deployed a team to investigate what it calls a plane accident north of Mission.

A statement from the federal agency says the incident happened Wednesday near Mission, B.C., about 70 kilometres southeast of Vancouver.

The agency says it involved a small aircraft, but released few other details.

According to the PulsePoint app, six BC Emergency Health Services ambulances were notified about an incident near Stave Lake Road in Miracle Valley, located north of Mission. The incident was reported at approximately 10:28 p.m. Ambulances from Abbotsford and Mission were notified, and two air ambulances were notified.

“BC Emergency Health Services received a call at 10:30 p.m. on August 26, 2026 about an incident involving an airplane in the 13700 block of Stave Lake Road in Hatzic near Mission,” said BCEHS paramedic public information officer Brian Twaites. “An ambulance with primary care paramedics, an ambulance with advanced care paramedics and a paramedic supervisor attended the scene. No patients were transported to hospital.”

A BC EHS spokesperson referred additional comment to the RCMP. Fraser Valley Today is awaiting comment from the Mission RCMP detachment whose regular spokesperson is currently away.

It marks the third deployment to B.C. for TSB investigators this month due to aviation incidents.

Last week, a plane made an emergency landing on a highway in Prince George, B.C., striking several vehicles and killing one person.

A mid-air collision between two planes over Chilliwack, B.C., that resulted in a fatality also prompted a deployment to the Fraser Valley city earlier this month.
