Two ambulances responded to a helicopter crash in Grant County Wednesday, transporting two men to Blue Mountain Hospital in John Day.

GRANT COUNTY (AP) — Authorities say one man was injured and another walked away after a helicopter crash in Grant County.

Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer said 60-year-old Cliff Hoeft, of Pilot Rock, was flying a 1988 Enstrom helicopter when it crashed just after 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Palmer said the helicopter ran out of fuel and crash landed among juniper trees and a rock outcropping near Ritter Butte Lookout.

Palmer says Hoeft was injured and transferred by aircraft to a hospital in Bend.

Hoeft’s passenger, 34-year-old Cody J. Cole, of Monument, walked away from the crash and was taken to a local hospital for observation.

The men had been hired by people who were coyote hunting on adjoining properties in the area.

Palmer says the helicopter sustained major damage and is a total loss.
