Police search Fraser River after possible plane crash near Maple Ridge, B.C.

Police say search efforts for a missing plane in Maple Ridge, B.C., will resume Sunday morning following a report of a possible crash in the Fraser River Saturday afternoon. 

Ridge Meadows RCMP along with search and rescue crews were in the area of Lougheed Highway and 280 Street searching for the plane by land, sea and air.

"We're using our helicopters, our boats, members on the ground and members on the bridge who are actively searching along the Fraser River. But at this time there has been nothing reported, but we're going to continue searching the area until we're satisfied one way or another," said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Manseau.

Manseau says the report came in just before 1:30 p.m. PT, and described a plane the size of a Cessna. 

"Investigators immediately contacted all the local airports to see if there were any takeoffs or landings that were similar in size and in nature, or if there was any overdue planes. And as of the time that they contacted there wasn't," Manseau said.

Manseau said no wreckage or oil spill had been discovered as of 9 p.m. PT. He said police plan to resume the search Sunday morning and will reach out to the Vancouver Police Department to use their marine unit.

He said an underwater recovery team would also be deployed and that police would be watching for any missing persons reports overnight.

Manseau previously said investigators would likely make contact with local airports later on Saturday to see if all the aircraft had closed their flight plans. 

Maple Ridge and Central Valley Search and Rescue crews, along with the Abbotsford Police Department were among the first responders taking part in the search. 

Anyone with information about this incident, or who knows of someone that was out on a plane and is now overdue, is asked to immediately contact the Ridge Meadows RCMP.
