HOUMA Eight people were killed and one injured after a helicopter carrying oilfield workers crashed into a marshy area near Bayou Penchant Sunday afternoon.

The helicopter, owned by the Lafayette-based Petroleum Helicopters Inc., was carrying nine passengers. The lone survivor was flown to Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center on a Coast Guard helicopter in critical condition.

The helicopters operator sent a distress signal at 3 p.m., said Jaclyn Young, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.

The U.S. Air Force Rescue Coordination Center in Virgina picked up the signal and alerted the Coast Guard station in New Orleans, she said.

Officials arent yet sure what caused the crash. The Terrebonne Sheriffs Office Water Patrol was aiding in body recovery in waters near Bayou Penchant. A Coast Guard helicopter is assisting as well.

Allen Boudreax Sr. of Franklinton said he was notified by PHI that his son, 23-year-old Allen Jr., was on board the helicopter when it went down. He had not been advised of his son's status, however.

Boudreaux Jr. is a welder and fitter for Dynamic Industries, and was en route to a job site when the wreck occurred, his father said.

After the bodies were located rescuers went about the grim task of trying to collect them. The helicopter struck an area of marshy, soupy, grassy land that can only be accessed by airboat.

Rescuers said the bodies were scatted in several areas near the crash site.
