Iran Press/America: The helicopter crashed Saturday evening (local time) in the Knik Glacier area, 80 km east of Anchorage, Alaska.
Searchers found the crash site and lone survivor late Saturday night after the helicopter was reported overdue, the state troopers said in a written statement. The injured person was rescued and reported to be in serious but stable condition.
The crash site is Knik Glacier northeast of Anchorage. It was not clear from the trooper report on Sunday whether the helicopter crashed on or next to the glacier.
Identities of the pilot and passengers were not immediately available. Notification of the victims' families had not yet been completed, trooper spokesman Austin McDaniel said.
Knik Glacier, in the northern Chugach Mountains, is a destination for sightseeing flights and, in summer, hiking and boating tours. The crash site is near the Knik River outflow of the 28-mile glacier, according to a map provided by the state troopers. 219
