A pilot and a nurse died in an early-morning helicopter crash Friday at Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, officials said.

According to a statement issued by North Memorial, three North Memorial Health crew members were on board at the time of the crash, which was about 1 a.m.


Officials said the helicopter's pilot and a nurse were reported dead at the scene. The third crew member was transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center.

No patients were on board when the crash happened

"The FAA and NTSB have been notified, and we will fully cooperate with both agencies during their investigation of the incident," a North Memorial spokeswoman said in a statement. "North Memorial Health is grateful for the expertise and efforts of the first responders who came to the accident scene including the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office, Brainerd Police and Fire Departments and Baxter Police Department."

KSTP's Ashley Zilka spoke with Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Director Steve Wright who said the helicopter was small and that there was no debris following the crash.
