A LifeNet helicopter based in Douglas, apparently out of Southeast Arizona Medical Center, crashed Wednesday afternoon in Tucson, fatally injuring the three crew members.
The paramedic, flight nurse and pilot on the Eurocopter AS350 all died Wednesday. No patients were on the aircraft, according to Air Methods Corp., the Colorado-based company that works in support of LifeNet Arizona.
“Two of the patients were transported to University Medical Center immediately after the accident, but died after arriving,” said Katie Riley, UMC spokeswoman.
