A small plane that crashed on a busy street south of downtown Peterborough, Ont., killing the only person on board, had been stolen from Markham Airport north of Toronto, police said.
The man flying the Piper aircraft, which crashed at 1:20 a.m. ET Friday near Lansdowne and High streets, was a 21-year-old from Markham, Ont. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
"From every indication, it would appear that he was attempting to land the plane," Peterborough police Insp. Lynne Buehler said at a news conference Friday morning.
Codie Coulter was at the scene moments after the plane crashed. He said the Piper took out streetlights and a large illuminated sign before crashing. Cont. (Video)
