BREAKING: Plane Crash In New Germany

A 46 year-old man is in serious condition following a plane crash in New Germany. Emergency officials say the pilot was the only person riding in the ultra-light plane when it went down shortly after 2 o'clock near Falkenham Lane. An investigation is underway into the cause of the crash. However, Corporal Scott McRae says it appears the aircraft was dealing with some engine trouble shortly after take-off. McRae says the pilot has been airlifted to a Halifax hospital. Officials from Transport Canada and Department of Environment attended the crash site to investigate the scene. It's believed some fuel leaked from the aircraft and had to be cleaned up.
