National Guard Investigators Are Still Combing The Helicopter Crash Site In Mendon For Clues

Emergency crews are still sifting through the wreckage 2 days after the fatal crash of a U.S. Army Reserve Blackhawk helicopter crash in Mendon.

Investigators and their working dogs spent yesterday looking across the field for clues that could tell us what went wrong in those final moments.

Mark Kokinda witnessed the crash from his house:

“I was able to look at it from a field to the south. It’s pretty devastating. This helicopter flew over my farmer house near Cheese Factory Road and you could tell it was in trouble.”

He also said the National Guard has been out there since the first responders arrived at the scene.

“People out in the field looking for certain parts, as far back as a couple miles back from the crash site. I just hope and pray everything works out for the families of these individuals,” he said. “I’m sure a lot of people in this area will remember it for a long time.”
