By Kanishka Singh(Reuters) - Three people were killed on Friday after a small plane crashed in the city of Chilliwack in Canada's British Columbia province, officials said.
The plane - a Piper PA-34 Seneca, a twin-engined light aircraft - crashed into trees and bushes behind a motel, near the local airport.
All three people onboard, including the pilot, were killed and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it was notifying the next of kin.
Haylie Morris, who worked nearby, told the Vancouver Sun she watched the plane go down in front of her.
"(I) started running and I saw it go into the forest across the street, crash through the trees," Morris told the newspaper.
