Members of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada have completed their work at the scene of a fatal helicopter crash in the Clarenville area.
The Robinson R44 light utility helicopter, carrying three men, crashed Monday shortly before 4 p.m. near Thorburn Lake.
Safety Board Spokesman Chris Krepski says the helicopter has been moved to a secure location. He says investigators have removed some instruments and components for further analysis at the TSB lab in Ottawa.
