OKLAHOMA CITY — A medical helicopter crash-landed outside an Oklahoma City nursing home early Friday, killing two people onboard and injuring a third who was pulled from the burning wreckage, officials said.
Only the flight team was onboard when the helicopter crashed while headed from Oklahoma City to Watonga, 70 miles away, to pick up a patient, said Fire Department Battalion Chief Marc Woodard. No one on the ground was seriously injured or killed.
Two men in the helicopter, including the pilot, were killed, but nursing home workers were able to pull the lone survivor from the wreckage, and he was taken to a hospital in critical condition, Woodard said.
