Three people have been killed and four others left in critical condition after a helicopter carrying a group of skiers crashed in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
The downed aircraft was one of three helicopters carrying heli-skiers into the rugged backcountry, when it went down at about 4.15pm PT on Monday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement.
The two other helicopters were able to transport four survivors from the crash site to paramedics who transferred them to hospital in the town of Terrace, 50km away.
The province’s emergency health services dispatched three air ambulances and five ground ambulances to treat the victims in Terrace, all of whom were in critical condition.
