Two people were sent to the hospital after a small aircraft went off the runway at Prince George Airport on Wednesday.

The light aircraft had a runway excursion and ended up upside down and off the blacktop.

The occupants suffered minor injuries.

The airport's emergency response team was called out immediately.

Crews found the two occupants had removed themselves from the plane.

Fire training, which had been scheduled to take place, was cancelled for the day following the incident.
