RCMP are urging people to stay away from the landing sight
“Investigators would like to remind the public that this is an active investigation and that they need to stay away from the area. It removes valuable police reervice if RCMP must station police officers at every access point to Foothills Boulevard to keep the curious onlookers away, of which there have already been too many
“Please allow room for our first responders to work safely,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP, said in a release
Foothills Boulevard has been closed to vehicle traffic in both directions and will remain that way overnight and into Friday; drivers should make plans to use alternate routes in the meantime, RCMP said
The Transportation Safety Board has assumed conduct of the investigation
The reason for the emergency landing has not been disclosed at this time
