Savanna May Royes, 20, was at the controls of one plane when it collided with another.

She and another student collided when both planes were coming into land at a local flying school.

Both pilots were pronounced dead at the scene.

There were no one else on board the two planes – a four-seater Cessna 172, and a Cessna 152 aircraft, which has two seats.

Officials at the flying school do not know how the collision happened.

“We don’t understand how they could get so close together,” Adam Penner, its president, told CBC News.

Nathaniel Plett, who lives near the school, was having a coffee when he heard noises coming from the site.

“I said to my wife ‘That’s a plane crash,” he told CBC.

Plett then recalled seeing plumes of black smoke and he heard loud bangs.
