There are hardly any meaningful facts out yet about the accident.
Except that the AS350B3 had apparently just departed from the company's base which is only about 600 m away, on a transport flight with a husband and wife couple as passengers.
Any orbiting aircraft mentioned must have been the SAR or the HEMS, which arrived on the scene fairly quickly.
The HEMS was unable to land at the accident site due to fog, and the only survivor (the pilot) had to be taken some distance by ground transport to meet up with the helicopter.
The two passengers were fatally injured.
The tractor was used to help free one person pinned under the wreckage.
