OMAHA, Neb. — Chris Moore of Creston — the pilot involved in last weekend’s helicopter crash near Macedoania — died from his injuries here Thursday evening at CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center.
Services are pending at Pearson Family Funeral Home in Creston.
The helicopter crash occured around noon last Saturday. The 26-year-old Moore was crop-dusting when his chopper hit a power line and crashed into a field near Macedonia.
Treynor Fire Chief Russ Maguire said Moore was out of the wreckage and conscious when paramedics arrived. Moore was taken to CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., where he remained in critical condition until his death Thursday.
Federal authorities are likely to investigate the cause of the crash. Macedonia is about 22 miles northwest of Red Oak.
