Global News
Efforts continued Monday to locate four people who have been missing since a medical transport helicopter crashed in northeastern Quebec on Friday night.
Efforts by emergency services personnel continued Monday as they searched for four people who have been missing since a medical transport helicopter crashed into a lake in eastern Quebec on Friday night.
The search continues in and around Watshishou Lake near Natashquan as divers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) joined in the effort on Sunday morning.
A spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Air Force told Global News it is no longer involved in the search.
“All Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft have completed an extensive visual search of the last known position of the crashed Air Medic helicopter. Unfortunately, the missing personnel have not been located at this time,” Lt. Commander Len Hickey said in an email Monday.
“As of 3:00 p.m. (EDT), 22 June, all RCAF tasked aircraft have suspended search efforts and returned to base.”
Five people were aboard an Airmedic helicopter on Friday at around 10:30 p.m. before it crashed into the lake.
One person managed to escape but crews are currently searching for the four others who were aboard the pre-hospital medical transport service aircraft when it went down.
“One crew member has been safely recovered; their life is not in danger, and they are currently receiving the necessary support,” Airmedic said in a statement Sunday morning.
