The Piper Tomahawk crashed on a main street in Peterborough, Ontario, about 1:30 a.m. local time Friday. The pilot and lone occupant was killed in the crash. The plane hit an illuminated sign and street lights before hitting Lansdowne Street. The aircraft belonged to a man in Markham, Ontario, about 60 miles from Peterborough and was being flown without his knowledge, according to authorities.
