UPDATE: The Dallas County Medical Examiner formally identified one of the Rowlett helicopter crash victims as 42-year-old Tyson Wallis of Pilot Point.
Cell phone and surveillance camera video shows the chopper spiraled to the ground and burst into flames around 11:30am Friday in a small empty lot along the 2200 block of Lakeview Parkway, a popular commercial area lined with Walmart, Home Depot and a QT gas station.No word when the victims’ identities will be released, but police said they were both adults and not related to one another.
A larger piece landed on the roof of a nearby storage unit appeared to be the helicopter’s tail section. Witnesses said they ran over to help, tried to pull the people out, and put the flames out, but the fire was too intense, so firefighters had to extinguish the flames. Fabio Jelezoglo said he and his son saw it all happen. “We heard just a pop and we looked up and all I saw was the helicopter coming down completely out of control. The tail was off. It was hard knowing there was a person inside. It’s sad.”
