Runway incursion – The occurrence
On 12 December 2018, a Beechcraft 1900C aircraft operated by Pacific Coastal Airlines departed Vancouver International Airport for Trail Regional Airport, British Columbia, with 2 crew members and 19 passengers on board. While the aircraft was conducting an approach to land on Runway 16 at the Trail airport, an airport vehicle was performing an inspection of the same runway. The vehicle was able to get to the main apron just before the aircraft reached the runway/taxiway intersection, thereby avoiding a collision. There was no damage to the aircraft. No injuries were reported. The TSB is investigating.
