Five dead in Malaysia 'flying doctor' helicopter crash
–
Neutral summary
A BO-105 helicopter operated by Malaysia's Flying Doctor Service crashed near the Long Lellang airstrip in Sarawak state on Borneo on Tuesday, killing all five people on board. The victims were the pilot and four health ministry staff — a medical officer, an assistant medical officer and two nurses — Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad said. The crash site was about 315 km from Miri, and haze from wildfires hampered the search effort. The cabinet offered condolences to the families, and an Air Accident Investigation Bureau team was expected to arrive in Miri on Wednesday to assist with the probe.
