Two crew members were killed when a medical helicopter crashed in Shelby County, Alabama.
The Life Saver helicopter had been called to transport a hiker who had been experiencing chest pains and breathing problems, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office chief deputy Clay Hammac said. While trying to extract the traveler, the accident occurred.
“There were three crew members on board the aircraft at the time of the crash,” Hammac said. “Tragically, I can say now that we can confirm the fatality of two.” One crew member was pronounced dead at the scene and a second died after being taken to the hospital.
On March 30, nine soldiers were killed in a crash of two medical evacuation Black Hawk helicopters in Kentucky.
