With news reports of a float plane crash early this afternoon on Tyaughton Lake with one fatality, one missing person and one injured person being transported to hospital, there were questions from the mountain bike community about whether it was a Tyax Adventures plane, the operation that mountain bikers from around the world have used to get into the South Chilcotin Mountains. However, this release on Tyax Adventures' Facebook page says otherwise.
