Parents of Grand Canyon helicopter crash victim to sue
The parents of one of the five British tourists who died after a Grand Canyon helicopter crash last month are suing the US flight operator.
Philip and Marlene Udall, of Southampton, claim their son Jonathan would not have sustained ‘severe and catastrophic’ burns if the helicopter had been fitted with a crash-resistant fuel system.
Jonathan (31) was on honeymoon with his wife Ellie Milward, who also died as a result of the crash.
Their friends, Britons Becky Dobson, her boyfriend Stuart Hill and his brother Jason Hill, died at the scene.
The Udalls are asking for damages in excess of £141,000, as well as punitive damages and a jury trial, according to Sky News.
