(WBAP/KLIF) — A Houston police officer injured in a police helicopter crash, Saturday, is now in serious condition. 35-year-old Chase Cormier was upgraded from critical condition, Sunday, following surgery after the early Saturday morning crash that killed another officer.
Police say 35-year-old Jason Knox, the son of Houston city council member Mike Knox, died of injuries suffered in the crash.
The helicopter was part of a search for bodies in a nearby bayou, which police chief Art Acevedo says may have been a bogus tip.
