According to the local newspaper CityNews Toronto, a Cessna 172 operated by Canadians were on their final approach for Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Ontario when a York Regional Police DJI Matrice 210 drone collided with the small aircraft.

CityNews' Ken Townsend tweeted images of the Cessna's damage that appears significant. He said, "I spoke with the owner of this small plane, he says if York Region Police drone had collided with his aircraft's windscreen instead of cowling, it could have resulted in loss of life. Says he is frustrated at lack of safety and following laws."
