A North-Wright Airways Twin Otter took off from a short gravel strip on the Canol Road with a near-maximum load. A strong crosswind caused it to settle back, and the left wheel struck willows at the strip edge. The aircraft ran off the end into a creek, and the right wing partly separated at impact. Both crew were uninjured.
