Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says the pilot is dead after a plane crashed south of Quebec City, that was supposed to be a part of a Remembrance Day ceremony.

Quebec provincial police say on Wednesday around 11 a.m., the plane crashed in St-Georges-de-Beauce.

Officers say there was only one person aboard the aircraft, which the premier had identified as the pilot.

The Quebec premier said on X that he is closely monitoring the situation and is in contact with the minister of public security to get more details and find out whether the Government of Quebec can provide any assistance.

“At this time, we do not know whether the pilot or anyone else has been injured. My heart goes out to those involved and their families,” he wrote.
