| The North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash of a crop-dusting helicopter in northeast North Dakota. The pilot was taken to a Grand Forks hospital after his helicopter crashed around 8 Sunday morning about three miles south of Arvilla. The patrol says 49-year-old Jesse Morten of Larimore, N.D., had been dusting a potato field with chemicals. He told officers that his helicopter then developed a mechanical problem. The aircraft crashed into a bean field about 200 yards from a rural road in Grand Forks County. Morten was taken to Altru Hospital. A nursing supervisor said he was in stable condition on Monday evening. |
