Okla. crash places helicopters
under new scrutiny
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A commission that
evaluates medical transport services is placing its accreditation of a
Kansas-based company under new scrutiny following the third deadly crash of one
of its medical helicopters in Oklahoma since 2010, the commission's executive
director said Wednesday.
The latest crash of an EagleMed LLC helicopter
occurred Tuesday night near the Choctaw Nation Health Care Center in Talihina in
southeastern Oklahoma. Janet Sharp, spokeswoman for the health care center, said
a patient who was being transported to a medical facility in Tulsa died, but it
was uncertain whether the death was due to the crash or a previous medical
condition.
