Two occupants of a small plane were unhurt after the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in the water of Head Pond near the Arnprior Airport.
Both the Lanark County and Renfrew OPP detatchments were on scene just after 5 p.m. Thursday evening.
When they arrived, officers could see the float plane, upside down in the river, and quickly learned that the two occupants made it out safely, were picked up by individuals in a boat and were unhurt.
Officers learned that the pilot had been planning to land at the airport, but experienced engine failure. The pilot then attempted a water landing, but the aircraft capsized.
The Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
