Victims identified after five die in mid-air plane crash over Saskatchewan

What was supposed to be a quick flight to pick up a piece of equipment ended in tragedy over the weekend as two small aircraft collided in the air over Saskatchewan, leaving five people dead, including a father and his 11-year-old son.

Transportation Safety Board investigators were beginning an investigation Sunday to try to figure out how the two planes had managed to seemingly defy the odds and strike each other about 180 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
