Medical helicopter made emergency landing in Redington Pass

A crew and a patient were aboard the helicopter, but no injuries were reported as a result of the emergency landing, said Dep. James Allerton, a spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff's Department. The patient was picked up by another helicopter and taken to a hospital. 

An unspecified engine failure led to the emergency landing, Allerton said.

The helicopter landed near milepost two on Redington Road, he said. The road was closed Monday afternoon.
