WASILLA, Alaska, April 17 (UPI) -- A 14-year-old boy was the only survivor when a helicopter carrying him and four others crashed near Alaska's Sheep Mountain, authorities said.
The crash occurred Tuesday afternoon but the teenager wasn't found until Wednesday morning because of blowing snow. He was flown to Mat-Su Regional Hospital in unstable condition, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
Alaska state troopers identified the boy as Quinn Ellington, an eighth-grader from Palmer, the newspaper said. Killed were the pilot, Benoit Pin, 39, of Anchorage; and passengers Thomas E. Middleton, 46, of Anchorage, Joseph C. O'Donnell, 47, of Girdwood and Michael D. Seward, 37, of Palmer.
The helicopter was carrying workers from the state Department of Administration's Enterprise Technology Services to service a radio site, officials said. The boy was traveling with his stepfather.
