More information is coming to light about this month’s deadly helicopter crash in Croydon.
Late last week, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report on the October 6th incident.
According to that report, the pilot, 73-year-old Carl Svenson, encountered poor weather conditions after taking off around 7:30 p.m. on the way to Quonset.
Officials say nine minutes into that flight, the copter descended while completing a turn, and hit several trees before plummeting into a marshy area off Pine Hill Road.
Svenson, who was alone in the chopper, was declared dead at the scene.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
