Rescue helicopter heads to Long Lellang crash site after rain delay
-
A Bomba helicopter left Miri for the Long Lellang crash site at 11.06am on Wednesday after heavy rain delayed the operation.
The flight to Long Lellang STOLport is expected to take about an hour. A police team that travelled by road overnight had reached the village by 11am and was expected to continue towards the site.
The deployment follows Tuesday afternoon’s crash involving a Flying Doctor Service helicopter in Ulu Baram. DayakDaily reported earlier that 21 personnel from Bomba, police, Layang-Layang Aerospace and Malaysia Airports were being prepared in stages, with a forensic team due to follow the operations group.
The condition and identities of those on board were still being confirmed in the latest reports, apart from one medical officer whose identity had been confirmed to her family. Sarawak police are expected to provide a further update at a press conference in Miri at 4pm.
