The Manchester Fire Department reported Wednesday afternoon that all three individuals involved in the crash were transported to the hospital. Murphy stated that first responders encountered 'difficult conditions' while trying to reach the victims due to the remote location and challenging weather circumstances. The fire department indicated that there was a substantial amount of snow on the mountain, ranging from 4 to 5 feet. To assist in the rescue efforts, three helicopters were dispatched to the scene. Murphy explained that paramedics were lowered to the victims to assess their condition and the overall situation.The decision was made to hoist the survivors from the mountain to provide them with more advanced medical care. However, the helicopters required a trip to nearby New York state to refuel before this could be accomplished. Video footage released by the Manchester Fire Department captured one of the helicopters arriving at the Manchester Public Safety Facility with the first of the three individuals involved in the crash. The fire department announced that all agencies had cleared the crash site Wednesday afternoon. The pilot and passengers' conditions remain undisclosed, and their identities have not yet been publicly revealed. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation.
