On July 17, 2009 at 7:30 p.m., Carman RCMP were called to a single aircraft accident located just off of highway 13, 2 miles north of the Town of Carman, Manitoba.

Investigation revealed that a crop duster working in the area lost power and was forced to land in a nearby canola field.

Although the aircraft suffered moderate damage, the lone pilot walked away uninjured from the incident.

Traffic along highway 13 was briefly interrupted by emergency equipment arriving on scene.

Alcohol is not considered a factor and police are not contemplating charges regarding this incident.
