Turbomeca Helicopter Lawsuit Filed
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The family members of two Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies killed in a helicopter crash are suing the aircraft’s engine manufacturer.
The federal lawsuit filed Thursday accuses Turbomeca of covering up a design and installation flaw in a critical engine part.
The crash last year killed 36-year-old Joseph Kievernagel and 29-year-old Kevin Blount.
Deputy Eric Henrikson was critically injured in the accident.
