It was flying from Tulsa to McAlester when it went down west of Lake Eufaula, near the Canadian River.
Three
employees from medical air transport company EagleMed LLC were on
board, according to FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford. FAA investigators are
headed to the crash scene.
The McIntosh
County Sheriff's Office is handling the crash for local law
enforcement, but a spokeswoman said early Friday that it had no
information to give out so far.
Earlier this week, an Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed in waters off the Florida Panhandle. All 11 service members aboard are believed dead, an Air Force official said Thursday.
The
military has been working to recover the helicopter, which searchers
found at the bottom of the Santa Rosa Sound near Eglin Air Force Base,
as well as the bodies of all seven Marines and four Louisiana Army
National Guard members who were aboard.
