NTSB: Wisconsin EMS Crash Followed Loss of Control
The pilot was non-responsive before his ship rolled inverted.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) final report on a fatal late-night rural northern Wisconsin helicopter EMS crash on April 26, 2018, indicates that the pilot was non-responsive before his ship rolled inverted, descended at 5,000 fpm, and hit terrain. The entire accident sequence lasted 12 seconds. Officially, the NTSB labeled the “defining event” of the crash as “loss of control in flight,” but its report suggests pilot fatigue might have been a contributing factor.
