Ottawa police say there’s been a mid-air collision between two aircraft over the city’s west end Sunday morning.

 

After the collision, police told CTVNews.ca the smaller aircraft crashed into a field, but that the larger aircraft was safely rerouted to Ottawa International Airport. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says the larger aircraft only sustained minor damage.

 

The collision happened shortly after 10 a.m.

 

Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Jamie Harper said he couldn’t comment on injuries. Police say they don’t know how many people were on board each aircraft.

 

Ottawa paramedics referred all questions to the Carp Airport. Officials there had no details, CTV Ottawa reported.
