3 Ala. rescuers killed in helicopter crash

Chicago Tribune

TUSCUMBIA, Ala. — A helicopter on a search for a hunter crashed in thick woods early Sunday, killing all three people onboard moments after they had found the man.

The cause of the crash was under investigation, said Jeff Davis, a manager of Air Evac EMS of West Plains, Mo., the company that owns the aircraft.

The helicopter crew had spotted the hunter, and the crash occurred as the aircraft was hovering, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Warren Woodberry.

The hunter was eventually rescued.
