Three people were killed after a medical helicopter crashed near Jackson, Mississippi, according to officials.
The crash occurred around 1:15 p.m. local time on Monday when a Eurocopter EC-135 went down in a wooded area near Highway 43 and the Natchez Trace Parkway, north of the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker told WAPT that the crash resulted in three fatalities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) separately confirmed that three people were aboard the helicopter at the time of the accident.
