The crash was reported Monday evening in Owenton near state
Highway 22, Kentucky State Police said in a news release.
Troopers determined that an Air Evac Lifeteam flight crashed,
killing the three personnel aboard. They were identified by
police as Gale Alleman, Bethany Aicken and James Welsh.
The Grant County-based crew was en route to pick up a patient
when the crash happened, Air Evac Lifeteam said in a statement
posted on social media.
Police are conducting the death investigation and the National
Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration
are investigating the helicopter crash, police said. AEL said it
would work closely with the FAA and NTSB during the
investigation.
“This was a terribly tragic accident, and our deepest sympathies
go out to the employees’ families and friends,” AEL said.
