Fatal crash near Saint Mary's due to wing failure (CF-AGQ)

What happened

The incident occurred during the cruise phase of a flight traveling from Toronto to Detroit. While in the air, the pilot experienced a sudden loss of control over the aircraft. The plane subsequently dove toward the ground and impacted a wheat field situated near Saint Mary's. The crash resulted in the deaths of all individuals on board, including the pilot and two passengers.

Findings

Investigations into the accident identified the primary cause as an in-flight structural failure of the starboard wing. This mechanical breakdown led directly to the loss of control and the subsequent fatal impact.
