PETERBOROUGH, Ontario – Police say a man who stole a small plane from a rural airport in the Greater Toronto Area has died after crashing the aircraft onto a busy commercial street in southern Ontario.
Police in Peterborough located about 86 miles (140 kilometers) east of Toronto, said Friday that the man in his 20s was the only person in the Piper aircraft when it went down after 1 a.m. (0500 GMT).
