Robinson R44 Crash Crash Leaves 3 Deceased – BrewerWood News

On Friday, November 1st at approximately 9:04 pm, a Robinson R-44 Raven II crashed near the 5000 block of Hecker Road in Iowa, LA.

When local authorities arrived at the scene, the Robinson Helicopter was on fire in the roadway. Once the fire was under control, authorities discovered three people were aboard the privately owned helicopter at the time of the crash and were pronounced deceased. The occupants were Jared Savant, 50, his wife Tanya Savant, 35, and their 2 year old baby, all of Kinder, Louisiana.

“This was a very tragic accident, and our hearts go out to the family and loved ones affected,” stated Sheriff Stitch Guillory. “Our deputies arrived on scene and began a preliminary investigation. The federal Aviation Administration was called out to investigate the crash and our deputies  stayed on scene and the assisted until the FAA arrived, began their investigation, and cleared debris from the area. I would like to extend our gratitude to the community members who live in the area where the crash occurred. Without hesitation, they provided assistance at the scene until first responders arrived and continued to provide assistance until the scene was cleared.”

CPSO Detective Julius Frazier is the preliminary investigator on this case. Also assisting at the scene were the Ward 8 District 2 Fire Department and the Louisiana State Police.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation by the FAA. This story is still developing.
