The pilot of a small plane avoided serious injury after a crash landing on a frozen lake in Grey Highlands on Sunday.
Grey Bruce OPP say they responded to numerous reports of a plane that had crashed onto the ice of Lake Eugenia, just prior to noon on Jan. 24.
According to the OPP, the 56-year-old pilot was returning to Kitchener after flying near Collingwood, when the airplane began to have engine problems.
Police say the pilot decided he needed to make an emergency landing — and chose Lake Eugenia to bring the 2016 Vans 7A airplane down on.
The plane crash landed onto the ice and came to rest in heavy snow in the middle of the lake.
Police say the pilot was not injured and walked across the ice to shore.
No one was else on board the plane.
Grey Bruce OPP were assisted at scene by the Grey Highlands Fire Department and the Grey Bruce Paramedic Services.
The Transport Safety Board of Canada was notified and the pilot made arrangements to have the plane safely removed from the lake.
