MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS5) -- Mesa police say one man was killed and another was injured when a helicopter went down in a park Friday afternoon. It happened at Sherwood Park near Horne and the U.S. 60. Police say no one on the ground was hurt.

According to the FAA, "the Bell 'Huey' UH-1H helicopter crashed under unknown circumstances approximately 8 miles east southeast of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and 2 miles NW of Mesquite High School." On Saturday Mesa police confirmed that the helicopter was flying from Blyth, California to Falcon Field for unknown reasons. Parts of the helicopter came off and it went spinning out of control and crashed.

Arizona's Family News Chopper videographer Jerry Ferguson actually spotted the helicopter go down while he was driving home. "As I drove down U.S. 60, I looked up, and saw the helicopter fly directly over me, and it was kind of wiggling back and forth," said Ferguson. "As it came overhead, it completely lost control and started spinning down toward the ground." said Ferguson.

Ferguson said emergency crews were doing CPR on one man while the other man was alert. "The one man that I was there trying to help had cuts across his face and some on his body," said Ferguson.

Hayden Joseph, the man who was alert, was the pilot of the helicopter. He was taken to Banner Desert Hospital with minor injuries. The passenger, identified as 55-year-old Chip Page, was pronounced dead on the scene.

Paige is well-known in the aviation industry. He was the eyes for Los Angeles as a helicopter reporter for news stations in the mid-2000s. KNBC journalist Alex Vasquez worked with Paige for four years.

“He was one of those guys that was a journalist but also a good human-being,” said Vasquez.

He said Paige guided him through wildfires and later on gave his expertise on how to cover the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others in January.

“Even when I mentioned to him about Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash, I remember him telling me, ‘You know what, Alex? That is never going to happen to me, because I take so much precaution when I’m in the air.’”

Vasquez says Paige obviously died doing what he loved: Flying.

FAA and the NTSB will investigate the crash. According to Flightaware, the helicopter took off from Blythe, California, at 2:48 p.m. Here's a pic of the flight path.
