One person is dead and three people are in hospital after a plane crash on the southern shore of the Bay of Islands in the Blow Me Down Mountains, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary confirmed on Saturday.
The RNC said the area is not accessible by foot and the provincial emergency service division was deployed.
The four people onboard the plane are from Quebec and were working in the area at the time of the crash, the RNC said.
A 24-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while a 26-year-old man was rushed to hospital for treatment of critical injuries, and two women, ages 28 and 23, are being treated for moderate injuries.
Maj. Trevor Ackland, senior public affairs officer with the Halifax Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, told CBC News on Saturday morning the crash happened around 11:30 a.m. Friday.
"A Cessna 337H Skymaster with four persons on board was seen to descend in the mountains around Corner Brook, Newfoundland. A crash was reported by other aircraft flying in the vicinity," Ackland said.
The RNC said it received its report of a crash around2:15 p.m.
The three survivors were transported from the crash site to Deer Lake, and then to Western Regional Memorial Hospital in Corner Brook for medical care.
The 24-year-old woman was transported separately.
The small plane was operated by Quebec-based Sasair, wrote the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) in a news release shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday night.
Ackland said the plane was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at the time.
JRCC Halifax responded to the incident, along with N.L. Health Services and RNC officers.
Ackland said a CH-149 cormorant helicopter was deployed to the area to deliver search and rescue technicians to the crash site.
The TSB confirmed it is "deploying a team of investigators" to look into what it's calling an accident.
