Two people have been seriously injured after a plane collided with a boat while trying to take off in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour Saturday afternoon.
Vancouver Fire Rescue said the two, while seriously injured, are not in life-threatening condition.
Assistant fire chief Walter Pereira said there were four people on board the boat at the time of the crash. The other two were uninjured. No injuries have been reported for those on board the plane.
“We can confirm there was a collision between a Harbour Air float plane and a recreational boat at 12:51 p.m. at the entrance of Coal Harbour,” Arpen Rana said, a Port of Vancouver spokesperson.
Global News has obtained video from a witness, which shows the plane colliding with the boat.

Float planes have right of way.

Maybe to help prevent this in the future there should be buoys marking float plane runways to help ensure no boat gets in the way.
