BC Emergency Health Services said it transported four people by ambulance to hospital after the crash.It's unclear what the helicopter was doing in the area, but Cooper said they know it was not a forestry crew aboard. "It is going to be a little bit of a challenge for emergency crews. It was in a more forested area that the helicopter crashed, so not easily accessible by emergency vehicles."
