While attempting to manage the situation, the aircraft made a crash landing in the vicinity of Island Lake. The impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair. Despite the severity of the impact, both occupants on board were successfully rescued from the wreckage without any reported fatalities or injuries.
