Troy Gentry of Country Duo Montgomery Gentry Dies in Helicopter Crash

Troy Gentry, half of the popular country duo Montgomery Gentry, died in a helicopter crash on Friday in New Jersey, his label confirmed. He was 50.

According to a statement issued by Average Joes Entertainment, the crash took place at approximately 1 p.m. in Medford, N.J. Additional details of the crash are currently unknown.

Gentry was set to perform, along with his Montgomery Gentry partner Eddie Montgomery, Friday night at the Flying W Airport & Resort in Medford. The concert had been canceled even before Gentry was revealed to have been a victim in the accident.

According to Lexington, Ky., outlet Lex18, one other individual was also killed in the crash. Montgomery was reportedly not on the helicopter.

The Kentucky-based duo formed in the late ’90s, and is perhaps best known for their hit “My Town,” along with other singles like “Hillbilly Shoes” and “Headlights.” They were named duo of the year by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association in 2000.

The band tweeted just hours before the crash, writing, “Heading to Medford, New Jersey to play tomorrow! Ya looking forward to the show? WE ARE!”

Gentry is survived by his two daughters, Kaylee and Taylor, and his wife, Angie McClure, who he married in 1999.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Virginie - La police d'État demande l'aide du public alors que l'enquête se poursuit dans le crash fatal d'un hélicoptère à l'extérieur de Charlottesville il y a deux semaines.

L'hélicoptère a survolé la région de Charlottesville en assistant à la sécurité publique lors du rassemblement "Unite the Right" avant de s'effondrer dans une zone boisée près d'une maison sur Old Farm Road juste avant 17 heures le 12 août.

Le pilote, le lieutenant-général H. Jay Cullen, de Midlothian, âgé de 48 ans, et Trooper-Pilot de 40 ans, Berke MM Bates, de Quinton, est mort sur les lieux.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and state police investigation involves reconstructing the actual helicopter to help NTSB investigators determine exactly what caused the crash.

While state police and the NTSB conducted an extensive crash site area search, investigators are asking residents that may have found something "to not discard any unusual objects or debris - no matter how large or small – found in or around their property."

If you find something you think could help investigators, call #77 on a cell phone or 434-352-7128, so a trooper can pick up the material.

"State police also extends its sincere appreciation to the Old Farm Road neighborhood and the Albemarle County Ivy Fire Rescue Station for their compassion and support of state police in the wake of the fatal crash," officials said in a news release.
