Two people have died in a helicopter crash in the New South Wales' Snowy Mountains overnight. Following a request from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, emergency crews discovered the wreckage about 11:55pm on Monday, some 200 metres east of the Snowy Mountains Highway at Kiandra Flats. "Due to the terrain and the conditions overnight not, much could be done as far as the investigation was concerned," he said. "We are waiting for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to arrive to take over the investigation," Superintendent Klepczarek said. Officers from Riverina Police District have established a crime scene, with specialist police launching an investigation.
