MEHOOPANY, Pa. (AP) — A helicopter flew into a band of snow shortly before spinning out of control and crashing in remote area of northeastern Pennsylvania last month, killing a Lehigh Valley physician, authorities said.
But a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board says it's unclear whether the snow caused or contributed to the April 22 crash that killed Dr. Sanjay Kansara or whether other factors were involved, The (Allentown) Morning Call reported.
The Robinson R44 copter departed Allentown Queen Municipal Airport and was headed to Bradford County Airport in Towanda when it went down in Forkston Township, Wyoming County. Kansara, 54, who lived in Upper Saucon Township and commuted by air to a Bradford County hospital, was killed.
