Kawartha Lakes OPP have released a photo of a small plane that crashed around 6:30 p.m. on Friday (August 16) at Ancona Point on Sturgeon Lake, west of Bobcaygeon.

The float plane, carrying a pilot and one passenger, crashed near the intersection of Kawartha Lakes Road 24 and Scotch Line Road, landing in a ditch.

Both the pilot and passenger were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The road was closed for several hours for the investigation and to allow Hydro One to repair wires that the plane took down when it crashed.
