NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The family of one of the 67 victims of a helicopter and plane crash on Jan. 29 near Washington, D.C., filed two legal claims against the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Army on Tuesday.
The claims were filed on behalf of the widow and children of Casey Crafton, 40, of Salem. He died as a result of the crash, leaving behind his wife of 16 years, Rachel, and three young sons.
The pre-case claims were filed by the family of Crafton, according to Robert A. Clifford, the lawyer representing them. Clifford said he had also asked several companies associated with the crash to preserve evidence.
