A pilot crash-landed his single engine plane in Joseph Lake, five kilometres east of New Sarepta, Sunday afternoon.
The pilot, the only person on board, was not hurt, said Tylor Bennett, deputy fire chief of Leduc County.
“He walked off the boat, he was dry. EMS checked him out and he was good,” Bennett said Monday.
The pilot called 911 shortly after the crash, he said.
Leduc County Enforcement members used their patrol boat to get the pilot to shore.
Transportation Safety Board officials have been advised of the crash.
The plane will remain in the water until the insurance company and the owner arrange to recover it, Bennett said.
“That’s going to be quite the process,” he said. “It’s in the middle of the lake.”
Joseph Lake is about 55 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
