One person is dead following a helicopter crash south of Invermere on Tuesday evening (July 2).
RCMP say search and rescue crews were deployed to the area, near Brewer Creek, after a crash call came in around 7 p.m. When crews located the downed helicopter, they found the pilot dead.
Two passengers, however, survived with non-life-threatening injuries. They were taken to hospital.
RCMP say the helicopter was privately-owned by a rancher, but that they won't be sharing his identity.
The Transportation Safety Board and BC Coroners Service are investigating.
