3 dead after helicopter crash in rural western Colorado
A veteran Colorado pilot known for helping the local sheriff's department with helicopter rescues was killed Monday after his chopper tangled in power lines and crashed near rural Silt.

Doug Sheffer, owner of DBS Helicopters based in nearby Rifle, was among three people killed around 11:18 a.m. during a survey of power lines for a local energy company, the Glenwood Springs Post Independent reported.

The other two dead have yet to be publicly identified after the crash, which killed everyone aboard some 180 miles west of Denver
