Life Rescue New Mexico's valued Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin N2 was
repositioning itself over the weekend when its rotors struck the
side of a hangar. The resultant forces involved destroyed the $3
million machine. Primarily used to transport urgent care patients
to St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, NM, company officials note
that it will take several months to replace the machine, though the
search for a second machine was already underway at the time of the
accident.
