A United States aviation lawyer, Robert Clifford, has said the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of the Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe and his family in California last Friday, could have been averted.
Clifford said this in a press statement posted on the
company’s website on Wednesday.
Wigwe, his wife Doreen, his son Chizi, and a former Group
Chairman of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Abimola Ogunbanjo, lost their lives in
the fatal crash.
The Airbus Helicopter EC130B4 crashed at a border town
between California and Nevada.
Clifford, who is the Founder and Senior Partner of Clifford
Law Offices in Chicago, has spoken amid an ongoing investigation of the chopper
crash by the US National Transportation Safety Board.
The statement read in part, “The crash of a helicopter that
killed six people including a top Nigerian banker and his family along the
California-Nevada border Saturday night immediately strikes one as a tragedy
that may have been avoided given the known weather conditions at that time.”
He also expressed hopes that the US National Transportation
Safety Board would determine if the crash was avoidable or not after its
ongoing investigations.
