GILLIES LAKE, Ont. - Two people escaped injury after a small float plane crashed in northern Bruce Peninsula.

Transport Canada and the Ministry of Environment have been called to look into the crash on Gillies Lake around 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Provincial police say the 1946 Fleet Canuck float plane broke a strut when it landed, damaged a pontoon and ended up rolling over.

The 69-year-old pilot from the Bruce Peninsula and a 14-year-old passenger from Corunna, Ont. were rescued by boat by people on shore.

Gillies Lake is about 100 kilometres north of Owen Sound.
