A man in Abbotsford, B.C., has been arrested after police say a motorhome crashed through a perimeter fence on Saturday and entered an active airport runway.
Abbotsford Police Department says officers responded to the Abbotsford International Airport at 4:36 p.m. on July 25.
Airport staff had responded immediately, while air traffic control implemented measures to safely reroute aircraft operating at the airport, police said.
In a recording, air traffic controllers can be heard warning aircraft of the danger. “Pull up and go around, pull up and go around immediately,” an air traffic controller can be heard saying to an aircraft.
At one point, they are also heard speaking with someone saying they won’t talk to the vehicle that went on the runway.
