The mother of a Tahlequah woman killed last month in a helicopter crash has filed suit against the pilot’s estate, his parents and the helicopter manufacturer.
Attorneys for Juanita Kristene Scraper filed the suit in Cherokee County District Court. Scraper’s daughter, Darci Scraper, 20, and pilot Mark James Mahaney, 26, died in the mid-October crash of a Robinson R-22 Beta helicopter.
The suit alleges Mahaney negligently operated the helicopter, which caused and contributed to the injuries that killed Darci Scraper.
Mahaney’s parents, James Mahaney and René Rozell, are listed as defendants because they allegedly “exercised control” over the helicopter and were “instrumental in furnishing” the aircraft to Mark Mahaney, the suit states.
Scraper seeks judgment against each defendant for more than $10,000.
