Three Dead in Neb. Copter Crash

By Associated Press

June 21, 2002, 7:54 PM EDT
NORFOLK, Neb. -- A medical helicopter crashed during an emergency landing attempt Friday, killing all three people aboard, officials said.
The helicopter had left a Norfolk hospital shortly after noon when it experienced a problem and tried to land at an airport three miles away.
A witness, Lynn Stewart, said the helicopter touched down, then immediately went back up in the air and started to gyrate. He said the helicopter was flying erratically as it reached about 100 feet before diving nose first.
"I think he was just trying to get the thing straightened out, then it slowly was just climbing and spinning, climbing and spinning," Stewart said.
The pilot, 43-year-old Phil Herring, died after the LifeNet of the Heartland helicopter crashed. The two passengers died later at an Omaha hospital, said Russ Spray, chairman of Rocky Mountain Holding Corp., LifeNet's parent company.
The other victims were identified as nurse Lori Schrempp, 41, of Yankton, S.D., and paramedic Pat Scollard, 40, of Sioux City, Iowa.
Police were interviewing the helicopter's mechanic, and federal investigators were traveling to Norfolk late Friday. Winds were blowing up to 30 mph at the time of the crash.
