A plane crash near Buttonville Airport.
A pilot crashed a small plane at a local airport in Markham last night and escaped without injury.
On Wednesday, April 20, about 20 minutes after 9 p.m., Ontario Provincial Police shared that members of the Aurora detachment were at the scene near the Buttonville Municipal Airport.
According to police, the plane was attempting to land at the airport. The single pilot on board the plane didn't sustain any injuries as a result of the crash.
In photos shared by police on Twitter, emergency services can be seen attending to the scene of the crashed plane on the side of the road.
York Regional Police shared that they were also at the scene of the crash near Highway 404 and 16th Avenue.
The northbound ramp to 16th Avenue was shut down for an investigation, and YRP warned drivers in the area to expect traffic delays.
On Thursday, April 21, just a few minutes before 1:30 a.m., OPP shared that the ramp had reopened for use.
This is not the first time that news has come out about a plane incident near the Markham-based airport.
Back in October, a small plane made an emergency landing right on Highway 407 between Warden and Woodbine Avenues after reportedly taking off from the Buttonville Airport.
Narcity reached out to York Regional Police and the Aurora OPP detachment for more information but didn't hear back before this article was published. An update will be made if we receive comment.
