The crash occurred on Route 39 in the Azusa area. Five of the passengers were sheriff's deputies, and one was a doctor from UCLA.
A Los Angeles County rescue helicopter with six people onboard crashed near Azusa and Glendora Saturday afternoon while responding to a call, but despite their injuries everyone is expected to survive, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
Five of the passengers on the Air Rescue 5 helicopter were deputies with the Sheriff’s Department, and the sixth was a doctor from UCLA. All of them were taken to Pomona Valley Medical Center for treatment.“They are in stable condition, some more banged up than others, but thankful to be alive,” Villanueva said.
The helicopter was called to the scene by L.A. County Fire to transport a patient who was injured when their vehicle rolled over. It’s unclear what caused the aircraft to malfunction, but it crashed just a few feet from a 200-foot drop near Morris Dam in the Angeles National Forest. Two paramedics aboard the helicopter extracted the pilot and co-pilot after the crash. Firefighters who were already on the scene to assist the rolled-over vehicle were able to treat the injured as well, Villanueva said.
