RCMP remind people to stay away from crash scene

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP is reminding the public to stay away from the scene of Thursday afternoon’s plane crash on Foothills Blvd.

In a statement, Prince George RCMP say:

“Investigators would like to remind the public that this is an active investigation and that they need to stay away from the area. It removes valuable police resources from this investigation as well as the regular calls for service if RCMP must station police officers at every access point to Foothills Boulevard to keep the curious onlookers away, of which there have already been too many. Please allow room for our first responders to work safely,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer.

Foothills Boulevard has been closed to vehicle traffic in both directions and will remain that way overnight and into Friday; drivers should make plans to use alternate routes in the meantime.
