The Alabama Emergency Management Agency says four people were killed in a helicopter crash in southeast Alabama.
Alabama EMA spokesman Greg Robinson says three crew members and a patient were aboard the ambulance helicopter when the crash occurred around 12.17 am today. Robinson says the downed helicopter was found after 7 am.
Coffee County EMA Deputy Director James Brown tells WSFA-TV that the aircraft crashed after responding to a wreck in which the patient had a broken leg and was unconscious.

Robinson says the National Transportation Safety Board said on Twitter that it was investigating a helicopter crash in Goodman, Alabama.
