Lawsuit filed in fatal September helicopter crash
MOUNT CLEMENS (AP) -- The estate and family of a man killed in a northern lower Michigan helicopter crash in September has filed a lawsuit claiming negligence contributed to the accident.
The Macomb Daily reports this week that the complaint was filed in January in Macomb County Circuit Court by relatives of 33-year-old Mark May. He was the passenger in the helicopter piloted by 46-year-old Dan Logghe, who also died in the Sept. 23 crash.
The lawsuit accuses Logghe of negligence and says Logghe Stamping Co. failed to properly maintain the helicopter.
The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment Wednesday to an attorney for the defendants.
The helicopter crashed in Alcona County's Caledonia Township. The men were headed to a hunting cabin near Alpena, about 15 miles from the crash site.
