OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Authorities say a medical helicopter has crashed in Oklahoma City, killing two people and injuring a third.
    
The Oklahoma City Fire Department tells The Oklahoman newspaper (http://is.gd/9QfVj2 ) that the crash happened Friday morning. A fire department spokesman says two people were killed and one person was taken to a hospital.
    
Authorities say the crash happened near the St. Ann Nursing Home in northwest Oklahoma City.
    
A large storm system has blanketed much of the Midwest and Plains in snow, but it wasn't immediately clear if authorities believe weather played a role in the crash.
