Four Hydro One employees died when their helicopter crashed on a rural property in eastern Ontario Thursday afternoon. The one pilot and three crew members were part of a crew performing routine maintenance work on a hydro line and at a hydro tower on a property in the municipality of Tweed, Ont., when the aircraft went down, Hydro One spokesperson Ferio Pugliese confirmed. Hydro One has not released the names of the victims pending the notification of next of kin, but Pugliese said they were based in different regions from across the province — CBC
