Medical helicopter helps patient, crashes, kills 3

MADISON, Wisconsin -- A medical helicopter dropped off a patient and then crashed shortly after it took off on its return flight to Madison, Wisconsin, killing the surgeon, nurse and pilot on board, officials said Sunday.

The University of Wisconsin Hospital Med Flight crew went down about three miles (five kilometers) from the La Crosse airport, where they departed late Saturday, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said in a statement.
