Sergeant Andy Tingwall died following a police
helicopter crash on a mountainside near Santa Fe, New
Mexico. He and a police observer had just taken off
after rescuing a stranded hiker when the helicopter
struck the mountainside and crashed.
Despite being severely injured, the observer was able to
hike from the area the following morning and was located
by a rescue party. An intense search was initiated but
rescuers had difficulty reaching the crash site due to
weather and terrain.
The bodies of Sergeant Tingwall and the hiker were
located two days later when rescuers were able to reach
the site. It was determined that Sergeant Tingwall
survived the initial crash and had removed the injured
hiker from the wreckage before passing away. |
