Two Indians among three killed in Canada plane crash

A 25-year-old trainee pilot from Vasai in Mumbai was killed along with two others when their plane crashed in Canada’s British Columbia province in Chilliwack city, nearly 100 km from Vancouver, on Friday. The trainee pilot was identified by the authorities as Abhay Gadroo.

The plane, a Piper PA-34 Seneca, a twin-engined light aircraft, crashed into trees and bushes behind a motel, killing all three onboard. Besides Gadroo, there was another Indian onboard. Local authorities are investigating the crash.

He left India in 2021 for commercial pilot licence training. “He was to complete his 200 hours’ training in Canada after which he planned to return to India,”
