Staff Sgt. Annie Linteau says a 20-year-old male passenger from Prince George was killed in the crash on Tyaughton Lake in Gold Bridge and it's believe the body of another man remains in the submerged wreckage.

Linteau says in a news release that the 20-year-old male pilot from Williams Lake managed to make it out of the plane and was transported to hospital with serious, but not life threatening, injuries.
