They said it happened about 25 kilometres southwest of Fox Creek at around 4:20 p.m. MT.
According to police, a 44-year-old woman was killed in the crash while another female and a male were injured.
The helicopter was under contract with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry and was doing mountain pine beetle aerial survey work, according to the province.

“My condolences to the family of the woman who perished.”
Mounties said they could not specify the severity of the injuries or how old the other victims are.
