Support is pouring in for the family of a woman killed in a Prince George plane crash last week.
Alex Garneau was in a vehicle that was hit by a twin-engine aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing on Foothills Boulevard on Thursday.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the mother of two and has already surpassed its $100,000 goal.
RCMP in Prince George said the Transportation Safety Board has now taken over the case.
They said a Beech King Air 200 airplane, registration C-GEDV, departed the Sturdee Airstrip in north-central B.C. at 1:25 p.m. PT on Aug. 20 with two crew members and six passengers on board.
