(CNN) -- One plane crash landed and a second managed to land safely after they collided on the final approach to Clearwater Airpark in Florida on Saturday, an airport authority spokesman said. There are no reports of injuries.


and lake Erie.

TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A single-engine plane carrying at least nine people crashed Saturday in snowy weather shortly after taking off from a Canadian island in Lake Erie. The airline's president said there did not appear to be any survivors.  The plane, a Cessna 208 Caravan, was bound for Windsor, Ontario, across the border from Detroit, and crashed about 20 miles north of Sandusky, Ohio.

Seeing this report from the Lake Erie crash I suspected it was outbound from Peelee Island, and upon further checking, I find that to be the case......very small piece of land off the tip of Pt Peelee.......southern most land in Canada.......
