What happened
On a flight intended for medical transport, likely destined for Oskélanéo, a single-engine airplane lost control while in transit. The aircraft impacted the surface of the iced Lake Tessier. At the time of the accident, the plane was carrying two crew members and two passengers.
Search efforts located the wreckage four days after the initial incident. During the recovery process, the remains of the pilot were found. On 6 April 1951, the body of the second pilot was also recovered from the site. Despite search operations, the bodies of both passengers remained unrecovered.
Findings
Investigations into the crash suggest that the crew may have lost control due to sudden snow fog encountered during the flight.
