NATASHQUAN — A search has resumed for four people who are missing after a medical transport helicopter crashed on Quebec’s North Shore during a rescue operation.

The Airmedic helicopter was involved in an accident around 10:30 p.m. Friday near Natashquan, Que., just over 1,000 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Airmedic said in a statement Sunday that it has suspended its operations in order to offer support to its employees.

The company says police and search-and-rescue teams have been looking for the missing people from the air, on the ground and in the water.
