GOLDEN, B.C. - Search-and-rescue officials say a three-year-old girl
survived a plane crash that killed her grandfather and another man near
Golden, B.C., because she was strapped into a child's car seat.
The girl, who suffered head injuries but is stable in hospital, has been
reunited with her parents.
The girl and her parents are to be flown to the Alberta Children's Hospital
in Calgary.
The Cessna 172 was heading to Edmonton and had just taken off from Golden
when it crashed into rugged forested terrain Sunday in the Blaeberry River
area.
Rescuers say bad weather hampered search efforts and rescue technicians
eventually had to be lowered down to the crash site from a private
helicopter.
The names of the victims have not been released and the cause of the crash
is under investigation.
