3 killed in helicopter crash in northern Italy

The crash is believed to have been caused by pilot error from heavy fog or a mechanical failure in the tail rotor, according to Anadolu Agency.

The victims included two pilots and Lorenzo Rovagnati, the head of Rovagnati, an Italian company that produces a variety of cured meats.

Italy’s civil aviation authority has launched an investigation, and the Parma Public Prosecutor’s Office has ordered the examination of the helicopter’s black box.
