All 14 killed in Peru helicopter crash: official

Officials on Saturday said they found the wreckage of a helicopter that vanished days ago in the Peruvian Andes and the lifeless bodies of the 14 people who were aboard.

A Peruvian police high mountain rescue team walks Friday in the Hualla Hualla area during the ongoing rescue operations to locate the wreckage of a Sikorsky S-58ET helicopter lost in a southern Andean area of Peru.

"We are en route to the accident site where the helicopter and the bodies are located," prosecutor Cesar Guevara, of the town of Urcos in the southern department of Cusco, told Canal N television by phone.
