A plane that crashed on Vancouver Island on Saturday has been found, the Canadian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre said.

The JRCC said it was unable to comment at this time on the status of any passengers.

The plane was supposed to arrive in Tofino on Saturday, but a search was prompted when it never arrived, JRCC Maj. Sandra Bourne said.

Aircraft, alongside search and rescue crews were dispatched late Saturday afternoon, but by the time crews neared the site it was too dark to see, said Bourne.

“By the time they got there it was evening, it was dark. They couldn’t find anything,” said Bourne.

Bourne said the search began at daybreak Sunday, where crews said they found a crash site on the west coast of Vancouver Island on the Stewardson Inlet.

Officials were unable to specify the type of aircraft involved or how many passengers were on board.
