A medical helicopter with three crew members on board crashed in Oklahoma while it was headed to a children’s hospital Friday morning, officials said.

Three crew members were aboard when the chopper went down, with one sustaining injuries “at the crash site,” according to the Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office.

The helicopter was bound for a children’s hospital in Texas, according to KOKH-TV.

The crash occurred north of the small town of Lone Wolf in the southwestern area of the state, officials said.

It was unclear where it had departed from or what led to the crash.
