AUGUSTA — Maine law enforcement officials using snowmobiles and snowshoes have reached the wreckage of a small plane that crashed near the Canadian border during a snowstorm.

A Canadian search and rescue helicopter reported Monday night that one person was killed. Another person was airlifted to a hospital in Quebec.

According to a family friend in Toronto, the victim was Paul Oberman, president and CEO of Woodcliffe Corp. real estate development company in Toronto.

Wardens and State Police had to use sleds and snowshoes this morning to reach the wreckage near Depot Lake, about 11 miles north of the Daaquam border crossing, deep in the Maine woods.

The body was taken to the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Augusta. A National Transportation Safety Board investigator is expected at the site Wednesday.
