Reality TV Helicopter Goes Down near Pennsylvania Campus

May 2, 2011

Authorities in western Pennsylvania say a helicopter carrying a reality television crew crashed near Indiana University of Pennsylvania, seriously injuring two of the four people aboard, but no fatalities were reported.

The helicopter went down shortly after 8:30 p.m. Saturday in between two apartment buildings. Officials say no one on the ground was injured.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said one of the passengers walked away but the other three were injured, and one was in critical condition while another was in serious condition. The condition of the other person was unknown. The FAA is investigating the cause of the crash.

University spokeswoman Michelle Fryling said the reality television show “Campus PD,” which has no affiliation with the state-owned university, was working with borough police in the area.
