Swiss Dauphin down

An tragic accident destroyed a SA 365N3 Dauphin 2 of Heli-Link Helikopter AG yesterday in Switzerland. The ship crashed at Fluelapass during a flight from Samedan to Davos. A REGA helicopter spotted the wreckage and rescued the serious injured pilot. The copilot was trapped in the bended metal and died unfortunately.
My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the crew and best wishes to the pilot.

Sincere condolences to all involved.
Preliminary report states it was a VFR flight:

Does anyone know what the weather was doing at the time?
