Hamilton police say no one was injured after a small plane was forced to make an emergency landing in a rural area on Friday afternoon.
Police said that at about 2 p.m., a Cessna 206 plane had sent out a mayday call and landed in a farmer’s field in the area of Moxley Road and Concession 4 Road West in Flamborough.
The aircraft, which was being flown by a 67-year-old Milton man, was carrying a group of skydivers who jumped prior to the landing, police said.
