NTSB Investigating Oklahoma Helicopter Accident

An EagleMed Airbus AS350B2 crashed March 12 about 11:25 p.m. local time in eastern Oklahoma, killing one person—the pilot—while injuring two others, one seriously enough to require transport to a local hospital. The third person reportedly was able to walk away from the wreckage. All three people were EagleMed employees.  The helicopter was en route from Tulsa to McAlester when it crashed west of Lake Eufaula, near the Canadian River about 25 miles northeast of McAlester.

The purpose of the flight, as well as the cause of the crash are not yet known. The NTSB is investigating.
