Fatal Chopper Crash

Search-and-rescue officials in Victoria have confirmed the pilot of a missing helicopter has been killed in a crash. The chopper was reported overdue late Tuesday evening and was located about 20 kilometres northeast of Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island. A Buffalo aircraft dropped flares to help ground crews reach the helicopter. The name of the pilot hasn't been released but it's believed he was from the Vancouver area.
