Three people were killed yesterday when the medical helicopter they were traveling, had taken off from a hospital in Jacksonville (USA.
)(UU.), fell on a wooded zone and inaccessible to the East of the town of Gainesville.
A Clay County Police spokesman yesterday confirmed the death of the pilot and two passengers aboard the helicopter, which planned to pick up a heart at the University hospital Shands in the town of Gainesville (Florida), and take it to the clinic Jacksonville may to perform a transplant.
This last medical center explained in a statement that the device, in which were two members of its medical staff, took off from Jacksonville to the 5.45 pm and "never returned".
"May is working internally to support families and employees of those who have died in this tragedy so dismal," adds the brief statement.
Authorities took hours to locate the u000aremains of the helicopter and had to use off-road vehicles to access the place of the incident, where a small fire which was quickly controlled had stoked.
