RED DEER – Alberta RCMP say a helicopter crash west of Red Deer killed one person and left another with life-threatening injuries.
Sylvan Lake RCMP say they responded to a report of a crash near a private landing strip near Range Road 40 in Lacombe County early Sunday afternoon.
They say upon arrival, emergency responders tried to help a female passenger who was later declared deceased.
They have identified the woman as a 54-year-old resident of Benalto, Alta., a hamlet 15 kilometres west of Sylvan Lake.
Mounties say the 63-year-old Lacombe County resident piloting the helicopter was taken to hospital and is in life-threatening condition.
The crash is now being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board.
