NEVADA – Flags will be flown at half-staff across the Silver State on Saturday to honor the five people who died in an air ambulance crash.

The executive order was issued by Governor Joe Lombardo following a vigil for Ed Pricola, the flight nurse who lost his life.

The order applies to all US flags and Nevada state flags at public and state buildings.

The circumstances of the crash are under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The aircraft went off the radar near Stagecoach, killing the pilot, medical crew members, patient, and the patient’s family member on board.
