An unspecified number of people died after a plane crashed in Canada’s remote Northwest Territories near the town of Fort Smith while it was headed to a diamond mine, CNN reported, citing officials.
The incident happened on Tuesday, and the Northwest Territories coroner also said that there were fatalities in the crash but did not specify the number.
Some of the passengers on board the plane were employees at Rio Tinto, a global mining company.
However, the company did not confirm how many of its workers were on the plane but noted the crash resulted in fatalities.
