Swerving about 200 yards across a corner of the landing field at Stevenson airport when one of its tire blew out, a westbound Trans-Canada Air Lines plane carrying 10 passengers and a crew of three dug into the mud off the airports north-south runway. No one was injured.

The crew comprised of Captain H.Seagrim, First Officer E.Allen and Miss G. Leslie, stewardess. According to officials at the airport the right wing, three propeller blades and right hand gear were damaged but not serious and could be repaired at the TCA shop in Winnipeg.
