Highgate, VT - On September 8th, AmCare Ambulance Service, Highgate Fire Department, Vermont State Police, Swanton Police Department and US Border Patrol responded to the Franklin County Airport in Highgate for a helicopter crash. One patient was transported by AmCare Ambulance Service to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The helicopter was hovering about 15-feet off the ground when a gust of wind caused the pilot to lose control, causing the helicopter to crash just before the airport. The crash is under investigation by the FAA.
