A midair collision between two helicopters outside McMinnville Municipal Airport in Oregon left three people dead on Thursday afternoon. Both aircraft, an Airbus H125 and a Robinson R22, came down in an open field bordering a nearby roadway.

According to the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office, as reported by Fox News, the two individuals aboard the Robinson R22 were flight instructor Maddie Aasbo, 22, of Texas, and a student pilot visiting from the United Kingdom. The lone occupant of the Airbus was identified as 38-year-old Tyler Delane Sturdevant of Newberg, Oregon.

The incident led emergency personnel to close sections of Oregon Route 233 and adjacent county thoroughfares. While the airport manager told Fox News that both helicopters were based at the facility, airport operations were not interrupted. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration have launched an inquiry to determine what caused the crash.
