The BC Coroners Service announced Tuesday that the person killed in a weekend plane crash in southern British Columbia was from Edmonton.

Officials said Tuesday that Jane Yvonne Lavallee, 48, of Edmonton died in Saturday’s crash.

At about 6:30 p.m. on August 30, officials said a single-engine Cessna 172S airplane crashed during what appeared to be an aborted landing attempt at the airstrip in Crawford Bay, at about 6:30 p.m.

The aircraft came down on the Kokanee Springs Golf Course, officials said, and passersby pulled Lavallee from the wreckage, but attempts to resuscitate her weren’t successful.

The BC Coroners Service and Transportation Safety Board are investigating her death, and said her family had been notified.
