An eyewitness recalled: "I witnessed this accident as a 13 year-old, standing in my yard at home at 6159 Branch Hill Miamiville road. I watched as the Hughes flew southbound, a few hundred feet above treetop level down the adjacent ridge to the one we lived on. I heard the engine sputter, saw the rotor make a few turns before folding upward, and the helo descending down. I heard it crash through trees. I alerted my father, and he and I searched fruitlessly for the wreckage."
