MADISON COUNTY, Miss. — A medical transport helicopter crashed in Mississippi on Monday, killing a pilot and two hospital workers on board, officials said.

Families of the three victims were notified, but authorities didn’t release names to protect their privacy. The university did not offer a reason for the crash.
Television station WAPT reported that authorities from the Federal Aviation Administration were en route.
