Third body found in chopper wreckage
A third body has been found in the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed in central western New South Wales.
Two of the three people who were killed worked for the local council.
Motorists reported seeing the chopper crash next to the Orange to Parkes Road at 9:30am AEDT.
It burst into flames, which prevented emergency crews inspecting the scene.
Two bodies were found in the wreckage this morning.
Ambulance officers have confirmed the body of a third person who was missing after the crash has also been found.
Air safety investigators from Canberra will travel to the crash site this afternoon.
The chopper was based at Cootamundra in the state's south-west, but authorities have not released details about flight plans.
Wreckage is scattered across the road and police say it will be closed for several hours to allow authorities to investigate the crash.
