Safe after chopper crash

A search for a helicopter that began when an emergency beacon began transmitting has ended well with all three people on board being found safe on an Alberta mountain.

RCMP Sgt. Jack Poitras says the helicopter made a hard landing in a remote area above the tree line near Ice Lake west of Sundre on Sunday afternoon.

Poitras says a plane flying over the area after the beacon was activated spotted the helicopter and saw three people waving.

He says the helicopter was privately owned.

Efforts were underway to bring them down, but Poitras didn't have details.
