"Three people die in rescue service helicopter crash in Slovakia
BANSKA BYSTRICA- Three crew members perished in a helicopter of the Air Transport Europe (ATE) rescue service that crashed near Janova Lehota, central Slovakia, at about 8:00 p.m. CET on Monday, ATE spokesman Pavol Sveton has told.
The helicopter flew from the airport in Sliac, east Slovakia, for Zilina, central Slovakia, from where it was to transfer a patient to Banska Bystrica, Sveton explained.
A pilot, a doctor and a rescuer were aboard the helicopter. None of them survived the accident.
Two dead bodies were found near the crashed helicopter, while rescuers are searching for the third victim in the surroundings.
The Air Transport Office is investigating the cause of the accident. However, Sveton ruled out that it could have been caused by bad weather.
The ATE bought the Italian made-helicopter Agusta A 109 K2 from Swiss rescuers. It has been already the fourth plane of this kind that the ATE has used.
