Three Walk Away from PG&E Contract Helicopter Crash & Fire
San Andreas, CA...On July 20, 2020 at about 10:08AM the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call reporting a helicopter crash near Hwy 12 and Toll Bridge Rd, San Andreas. The impact caused minor injuries to the three occupants in helicopter and started a vegetation fire. San Andreas Fire, Cal-Fire and Consolidated Fire responded and were able to stop the forward progress of the fire before it spread to a nearby house and barn.
Calaveras Detectives were requested to begin an investigation. They learned the helicopter, a model MD600N PG&E contract helicopter, experienced a loss of power causing it to rapidly loose elevation. Calaveras Investigators will be coordinating their efforts with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to determine the cause of the accident.
