Blue River helicopter crash

On Christmas morning in Blue River, a B2 helicopter landed and rolled over on its side, with three guests and two guides.

"Foggy conditions left the pilot unable to see where he had landed and the rolling hill caused the helicopter to slide and tumble over," guiding operations manager Bob Sayer said.

There was only one injury sustained, to one of Mike Wiegele's guides, who was transported by helicopter to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, B.C. and is in stable condition. 

An investigation is underway.
