Two people walked away from a small plane crash Monday evening at the Carp Airport in west Ottawa.

Two people were treated for minor injuries after a small plane crashed at the Carp Airport.

Emergency crews responded to a report a plane crashed at the airport on Thomas Argue Road in Ottawa’s west end around 6:30 p.m. Monday, according to police.

An Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson told CTV News Ottawa that two people onboard the plane were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The Transportation Safety Board told CTV News Ottawa Tuesday morning that a Cessna 150M lost engine power during a go-around on runway 28 and attempted to maneuver to land on runway 04.

“The aircraft landed on the grass and the nosewheel collapsed,” the TSB said in an email.

“Neither of the two occupants on board were injured. We did not deploy any investigators to the site.”

Ottawa police say the airport was temporarily shut down as a result of the incident.
