Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. issued the following statement after the horrific news of a military helicopter colliding into an incoming flight from Wichita, Kansas to Washington Reagan National Airport. 

“Tonight, we received devastating news of what can only be described as nothing short of a nightmare.  A plane, traveling to the Nation’s capital from Wichita, KS carrying roughly 60 passengers collided with a Military helicopter. My prayer is that God wraps his arms around each and every victim, and that he continues to be with their families. 

There’s no words that can make telling this story any easier. I ask the world to join me in praying for Kansas this evening, the first responders, rescue crews,and all those involved in this horrific accident. I have been in contact with local and national authorities asking for answers, and will continue to demand more information on how this unfolded.”
