    • One dead, one injured in helicopter crash west of Red Deer, Alta.

    Alberta RCMP say a helicopter crash west of Red Deer killed one person and left another with life-threatening injuries.

    Sylvan Lake RCMP say they responded to a report of a crash near a private landing strip near Range Road 40 in Lacombe County early Sunday afternoon.

    They say upon arrival, emergency responders tried to help a female passenger who was later declared deceased. 

    They have identified the woman as a 54-year-old resident of Benalto, Alta., a hamlet 15 kilometres west of Sylvan Lake. 

    Mounties say the 63-year-old Lacombe County resident piloting the helicopter was taken to hospital and is in life-threatening condition. 

    The crash is now being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board.
