Officials say two small planes carrying a total of five people have crashed following a mid-air collision in Saskatchewan.
RCMP have confirmed all five people died in the crash.
Capt. Robert Landriault at the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton, Ont, says the centre was alerted Saturday morning that aircraft wreckage was discovered near St. Brieux, Saskatchewan.
He says police responded to the scene, and determined that there was actually wreckage from two planes.
One of the planes was a Piper PA-28, which was flying from Calgary to St. Brieux, and police say there were two men and a boy on board.
The other was a Lake Buccaneer amphibious plane, which was flying from Regina to La Ronge with an adult male and female on board.
Police say the first plane they found was submerged in a small body of water and their investigation has determined it collided with the second plane.
They say their underwater recovery team will remain at the scene until dusk.
Chris Krepinski, a spokesman for the Transportation Safety Board, didn't have any further information on the circumstances that led to the collision but says investigators are on their way to the area.
St. Brieux is approximately 135 km northeast of Saskatoon.
