Initial findings on Bailey family chopper incident released

Illinois Governor candidate Darren Bailey's family tragedy, which occurred in Montana, involving the loss of his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren in a helicopter crash, has received an initial report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The incident occurred when Bailey's family members departed from a ranch on a Robinson R44 helicopter towards Ekalaka Airport in southeastern Montana. The NTSB's preliminary findings suggest a potential mechanical failure at low altitude may have played a role in the crash. Despite the devastating loss, Darren Bailey confirmed his intention to remain in Illinois' upcoming gubernatorial race in 2026.
