Captain Jennifer Casey, the Public Affairs Officer for the Snowbirds, is who died during the crash, as reported by Global News.

One of the RCAF’s Snowbirds has been confirmed to have crashed in Kamloops into a house.

Casey succumbed to her injuries, said one witness to Kamloops This Week.

Both occupants of the house are fine.

The Royal Canadian Air Force confirmed the disaster in a Sunday afternoon tweet.

“The RCAF has been made aware that a Canadian Forces Snowbirds aircraft crashed in the vicinity of Kamloops, B.C.,” reads the tweet. 

Another tweet came out around 4:30p.m. announcing the death of the one pilot, namely Casey.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce that one member of the CF Snowbirds team has died and one has sustained serious injuries. We can confirm that we have contacted all primary family members of those involved. More information will be communicated in the near future.”

Initial reports came in around 11:42a.m.

According to witness reports, the jet just “fell from the sky” shortly after takeoff.

Reports are that the pilot managed to eject before the crash, landing on a nearby house. The house the plane hit was on Glenview Road in the Brocklehurst area.

Police are asking for the public to refrain from attending the following streets in the area: Glenview Avenue, Crestline Street, Schreiner Street, Tranquille Road.

Health Minister Adrian Dix said one individual was transported to hospital. Paramedics could not confirm the status of the pilot.

The Kamloops airport also confirmed the incident in a tweet, adding that its aircraft rescue fleet is responding to the situation.

The Snowbirds were making a Kamloops stop as part of their cross-country tour to thank Canadians for doing their part during COVID-19. The problem with the plane happened shortly after takeoff, when witnesses heard a “pop” sound.

Two of the Snowbird planes took off in tandem at the airport, with one having no problems.
