The incident was reported to the authorities via a 9-1-1 text not long after 3 p.m., revealing that the helicopter had gone down near Wolf Creek Campground, close to State Route 35. Upon arrival, emergency responders discovered that there were four occupants onboard, with one sustaining a severe head injury that warranted airlift to a medical facility.

The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation into the crash involving a Bell 206 helicopter.
