Man killed in radio-controlled helicopter accident
LAST UPDATE: 11/3/2003 4:53:55 PM
(Houston-AP) -- Investigators in Houston say a radio-controlled aircraft
instructor died when he was struck by a model helicopter.
The accident happened yesterday at a park in southwest Harris County.
Sheriff's authorities are looking into the death of 41-year-old Ronald Kyle
of Houston.
Officials say it appears Kyle had been doing flight maneuvers with a model
helicopter when he turned the controls over to the student who owns the
mini-aircraft.
Authorities say the plane apparently went out of control and ended up flying
toward the two people -- and Kyle was struck in the throat area.
