- Date: January 7, 2007
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan, Canada
- Fatalities: 1

A Transwest Air King Air air ambulance flight from La Ronge was on a night instrument approach to Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan. The crew broke off the landing at the flare, but the aircraft did not climb, and it hit trees beyond the runway end and burned. The captain died of his injuries, and the two medical attendants were seriously hurt.
