The
Arizona Daily Star announced that two U.S. Border Patrol agents were
injured Monday afternoon when their helicopter made an emergency crash landing
southwest of Tucson near Kitt Peak. The helicopter crashed about a half-mile
south of Arizona 86, about 20 miles west of Three Points while on a routine
patrol, said Andy Adame, a spokesman for the Border Patrol. However, both
occupants suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the cause of the crash
remains under investigation, Adame concluded. It is the third crash of a Border
Patrol OH-6 in the Tucson Sector in four years.
