No injuries occurred after a medical helicopter ran into power lines while on approach to St. Luke’s Miners Campus early Thursday morning.

A PennSTAR helicopter en route to the hospital for a patient transport struck wires at 2:20 a.m., causing power to be lost for some local residents.However, the hospital did not lose power, according to Kira Bub, marketing director St. Luke’s University Health Network, who said a power company restored power to all who were impacted by 9 a.m.“We didn’t even flicker,” Bub said.The helicopter landed safely, there were no injuries to any helicopter personnel, and no patients were on board the helicopter.Bub said the patient was transported by ground without delay, and there was no disruption in patient care.“The most important thing was that patient care was not disrupted or impacted,” she said.The helicopter is owned and operated by Metro Aviation.Bob Higgins, program director for PennSTAR, said that the helicopter has been removed from service until a complete mechanical inspection can be performed.He said the pilot involved in the incident has “well over the average (flight time experience)” and is “very experienced.”All pilots are required to have a minimum of 2,000 hours of pilot-in-command experience as well as additional certification to fly for PennSTAR.
