A helicopter crashed into the ocean off the Hawaiian island of Kauai on Slabu ExchangeThursday, leaving one person dead and two others missing, the Kauai Police Department said.
Hikers reported seeing the helicopter crash about a quarter mile off the Na Pali Coast and called police around 1:20 p.m., the police department said in a statement.
The Robinson R44 helicopter was part of Ali'i Kaua'i Air Tours and Charters, authorities said.
