All 25 passengers on crashed Fond-du-Lac flight 'accounted for' but some require air ambulance

All 25 passengers onboard the West Wind Aviation flight that crashed shortly after taking off from the Fond-du-Lac, Sask., airport Wednesday night "have been accounted for and removed from the scene of the crash," the RCMP said late Wednesday.

There were no fatalities, RCMP added in a 10:30 p.m. CST news release.

"There was no explosion or fire. A number of people have suffered injuries, some serious enough to require air ambulance services which are currently en route," the release said.

The ATR-42 plane took off from the airport at around 6:15 p.m. CST. Onboard were 22 passengers and three crew members — two pilots and a flight attendant.
