Wrongful death lawsuit filed in Tahlequah helicopter crash
November 9, 2009
A relative of a woman who died in a Tahlequah helicopter crash has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the pilot and aircraft company, according to court records.
Juanita Scraper filed the lawsuit Friday in Cherokee County District Court on behalf of Darci Scraper, 20, who was killed in the early-morning crash Oct. 14. The pilot, 26-year-old Mark Mahaney, also died.
Authorities found the wreckage two days after the crash near a small stream about a mile west of Tahlequah.
The lawsuit names Mahaney, Rene Rozell, Trevor Noble, Robinson Helicopter Co., the estate of James Mahaney and five other unidentified defendants referred to as “John Doe.”
Mahaney was the grandson of former state Sen. Herb Rozell, and took off from a private home about 5 a.m. The helicopter crashed to the ground shortly after takeoff.
Federal investigators are still working to determine what caused the crash and it will be several months before a probable cause report is complete.
