OAKDALE, Ill. (AP) — A helicopter crashed Monday afternoon in southern Illinois, killing its pilot, authorities said.
A Bell UH-1H “Huey” helicopter crashed in a field in Oakdale, Illinois, around 1:45 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Only the pilot was on board, the FAA said.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, the FAA said.
