FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities say the lone survivor of a mid-air crash of two medical helicopters has died at a hospital.

The aircraft collided with another helicopter Sunday in a wooded area about a half-mile from the hospital.

Authorities are still investigating the crash. The death toll is now seven.
