A pilot, a patient and their loved one were among five people killed on Friday when a CareFlight crashed near Stagecoach, Nevada, according to authorities.

The fixed-wing aircraft went off radar at 9.45pm, according to REMSA Health and Guardian Flight, which operates Care Flight. The air ambulance service “covers approximately 50,000 square miles of California and Nevada, and 11 states across the western United States,” according to the REMSA website. The fleet has five bases, four helicopters, one airplane and one Critical Care Ground Transport, the site says.
