Overview
- Rescuers reached the steep crash site near Le Prese in Lanzada around 8:35 a.m. local time and evacuated all three occupants alive.
- The pilot and two workers sustained minor injuries and were transported to hospital in codice giallo.
- The helicopter was conducting aerial reconnaissance and repair support tied to the 11 November landslide that damaged the Tornadri Franscia road.
- Images show the aircraft destroyed, and access to the remote area near the Swiss border complicated response efforts.
- Emergency services included the Vigili del Fuoco (with Drago 166), AREU 118, Carabinieri, and mountain rescue teams, as investigators verify identities and the precise dynamics after early reports misstated details.
