Pinal County, AZ – Around 11 a.m., the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) received reports of a helicopter crash in the mountains near Telegraph Canyon, south of Superior, Arizona.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies visually located a single crashed private helicopter that had departed earlier from Pegasus Airpark in Queen Creek, Arizona.
As of Thursday morning, injuries have not been confirmed. Crews are reportedly working to access the remote crash site, which has posed challenges due to rugged terrain and limited visibility.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have taken over the investigation to determine the cause of the crash. The FAA has also issued a temporary flight restriction in the area for safety reasons.
Authorities said more information will be released as it becomes available.
