A father was killed in front of his son after a helicopter crashed, sending an unnattached rotor blade flying into toward his truck that fatally struck him.
An elderly father was killed after a helicopter crashed onto a road and sent a broken rotor blade flying into his son’s truck.
A man, identified as Deodat Gangapersaud, was fatally struck by one of the rotor blades that detached from the aircraft, as he sat in the passenger seat of a truck driven by his 35-year-old son, Ryan Persaud. ‘You could start hearing the blades. I turn around and see the helicopter about like 20 feet above the air,’ witness Alejandor Bou-Colon told‘It tries to crash land in a patch of grass. But, then it kept on sliding and sliding until it hit that pole right there and cut it in half. It was very scary. It was really close. It could have been us.’According to authorities, Gangapersaud was relatively far from the scene of the crash when he was struck by that unattached blade.
