A police guard remains at the site of a helicopter crash, near Mudgee, in the central-west of NSW, in which a man died.
Emergency
services were alerted to the crash about 11am today when the wreckage
of the Robinson R-44 was found in steep and rugged bushland at
Grattai, about 25km south-west of Mudgee.
The pilot, a 48-year-old man from the local area, died at the scene.
A
crime scene was established and has been preserved overnight; it will
be examined by NSW Police Force air crash investigators and officials
from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) tomorrow.
It’s believed the man was spraying weeds.
Police will be preparing a report for the information of the Coroner.
