Posted: Aug 31, 2008 05:47 PM

DECATUR COUNTY, Ind (WTHI) - Officials say just after 1:30 this afternoon an
Air Evac helicopter crashed in a field near County Road 700 West and Base
Line Road just west of Greensburg.

That's about 50 miles Southeast of Indianapolis.

News 10 is told a pilot and two nurses were traveling back to Rushville when
the helicopter went down.

The victims include the pilot Roger Warren, flight nurse Sandra Pearson, and
flight paramedic and base manager Wade Weston.

No patients were on board. News 10 has learned that all Indiana Air Evac
Lifeteam units are grounded until further notice.

It's not known what caused the chopper to go down. We'll have more on this
accident tonight on News 10 Nightwatch.
