A medical transport helicopter crashed in Madison County, Mississippi, on Monday, resulting in at least one reported fatality.

 

The AirCare helicopter, operated by the University of Mississippi Medical Center was carrying a pilot and two hospital, workers at the time of the crash.

 

No patients were on board. The incident occurred north of Jackson, the state capital, though the University’s statement did not confirm specific injuries or deaths.

Local television station WAPT reported that at least one person was killed, and authorities from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were dispatched to investigate.The cause of the crash has not yet been determined.

This accident adds to a series of recent high-profile aviation incidents since the start of the year. In January, an air ambulance crashed in Philadelphia shortly after takeoff, killing all six people on board and one person on the ground.

The plane burst into flames upon impact, injuring at least two dozen others, including a 10-year-old boy who was struck by debris while protecting his sister. Investigations into both crashes are ongoing.
