The Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate February’s mishap involving a Bearskin Airlines plane at the Dryden Regional Airport.

A plane, carrying six passengers and two crew members, including some members of the Northern Ontario Women’s Curling team, veered off the runway and hit a snowbank as it attempted to take-off.

Team Coach Rick Lang suffered injuries to his hand in the incident.

A preliminary finding from Transport Canada found no aircraft mechanical issues, however officials stress the probe is in the hands of the TSB.

Transport Canada says they have appointed a Minister’s Observer, who will keep the department informed on the progress of the investigation
