MADISON, Wis. - Three people died when a University of Wisconsin Hospital Med Flight helicopter crashed after taking off Saturday night from La Crosse, a hospital spokesman said Sunday.
A surgeon, a nurse and the pilot were killed in the crash, which took place as the helicopter was returning to Madison from the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, said Aaron Conklin.
A hospital spokeswoman, Lisa Brunette, said earlier that the craft took off about 10:30 p.m.
There is one other Med Flight helicopter that serves university hospital system and it has been grounded, Conklin said.
The families of the victims have been notified, but the names were not immediately released.
