A patient and three crew members survived when a medical transport helicopter crashed in Macon County Thursday evening.
The EC-135 went down on a road just moments after the pilot declared an emergency, WLOS reported.
The LIFE FORCE 6 helicopter was transporting a patient from a hospital in Murphy to Asheville.
All suffered minor to moderate injuries.
Authorities said this was the first crash in the LIFE FORCE program's 34-year history.
