Motorhome Crashes onto Abbotsford Airport Runway, Driver Arrested

On July 25, 2026, a 53‑year‑old man drove a motorhome through a perimeter fence and onto an active runway at Abbotsford International Airport in British Columbia. Airport staff and air‑traffic controllers quickly issued warnings to aircraft, instructing pilots to pull up or hold circuit altitude while the incident was addressed.

Police arrived within minutes, arrested the driver and charged him with dangerous operation of a vehicle and mischief. No injuries were reported and runway operations resumed shortly after the intrusion was cleared. Authorities said impaired driving was not a factor and are investigating how the driver accessed the airport grounds.
