HOUSTON – The road to recovery is long for Houston Police officer Chase Cormier after he was critically injured in a helicopter crash that killed tactical flight officer Jason Knox.
Cormier and Knox were investigating bodies floating in a bayou Saturday when the HPD helicopter named 75 Fox spun out of control and crashed into a vacant building in north Houston, authorities said.
Knox died at the hospital and Cormier was taken into surgery.
Despite their heartache, Knox’s father councilman Mike Knox shared a touching post on Facebook wishing Cormier well.
“I also have a strong family network, peer support within HPD and friends.
