Reports: Six people die in helicopter crash in West Virginia

LOGAN, W.Va. (AP) — Authorities say six people were killed in a helicopter crash in West Virginia. The Vietnam-era helicopter was used for tourism flights and crashed near Route 17 in Logan County at about 5 p.m. Wednesday (June 22, 2022). County emergency management deputy director Sonya Porter says all six on board were killed. A nearby resident said she saw the smoke and flames and got close enough to see a man trapped inside, but couldn’t reach him. The Federal Aviation Administration said the crash of the Bell UH-1B helicopter will be investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
