A male pilot was killed when a small plane crashed onto a road in a commercial part of Peterborough early Friday morning, reportedly taking out a traffic light in the process.
It happened near Lansdowne Street and High Street shortly after 1 a.m.
Paramedics responded to the scene and attempted to resuscitate the pilot but pronounced him dead a short time later.
Police say it appears as though the pilot was the only person on board the plane.
The cause of the crash has not yet been determined; however police say that the incident “is believed to be a crime.”
As a result, both police and the Transportation Safety Board will conduct full investigations.
