PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — BC Emergency Health Services said at least four people have been injured in a helicopter crash east of Prince George, in central B.C.
Prince George RCMP say emergency crews gathered at the site where the chopper went down near the Purden Ski Hill, a mountain resort off Highway 16. Cooper said they don't know why the helicopter was in the area, but they know it was not a forestry crew aboard. "It is possible that emergency crews will be accessing the highway frequently and we are asking that motorists slow down and move over to give crews room to complete whatever work they need out there," Cooper said in an interview.
