SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – The parties involved apparently have settled a lawsuit stemming from a medical helicopter crash that killed three people in northern Iowa.
The helicopter carrying pilot Gene Grell, nurse Shelly Lair-Langenbau and paramedic Russ Piehl went down Jan. 2, 2013, near Ventura while on their way to pick up a patient. Federal investigators blamed ice on the helicopter and said the aircraft was not equipped to fly in winter weather.
Lair-Langenbau’s family sued the helicopter operator, Med Trans Corp. Mason City television station KIMT reports that settlement details haven’t been released. Court documents filed this week show the case has been removed from the court calendar and that documents to dismiss the case will be filed by mid-June.
A federal trial in Sioux City was scheduled to begin June 6.

Fremont County Sheriff’s Department said today (Friday), deputies discovered a one-vehicle accident near the intersection of 220th St and 230th Avenue. A deputy with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office observed a 2004 Mazda RX8 partially submerged in the drainage ditch located east of the intersection of 220th Street and 230th Ave.
An investigation determined the driver of the vehicle, 18-year old Dustin Rutledge, of Sidney, was westbound on 220th Street when he lost control of his car, which entered the north ditch. The vehicle traveled in the ditch along the creek bed, struck a culvert and came to rest in the drainage ditch. The car was a total loss. Rutledge was not injured, and left the scene prior to law enforcement arrival.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor, seatbelts were in use, and authorities say charges are pending.

The more than 400 products from CRF Frozen Foods in Pasco, Washington, could be contaminated with listeria.
