An Argentine judge has taken statements from members of a French reality show film crew as part of an investigation into a helicopter crash that killed 10 people this week.

Two Argentine pilots and three acclaimed French athletes were among the 10 who died Monday when their two helicopters collided and crashed in a remote area of northwest Argentina.

A spokesman for the La Rioja regional government told The Associated Press that federal Judge Daniel Herrera Piedrabuena interviewed crew members yesterday at a hotel in Villa Union, about 25 miles (40 kilometres) south of the crash site.

The collision occurred during production of a French reality television show called "Dropped." The victims included two Olympians, swimmer Camille Muffat and boxer Alexis Vastine as well as pioneering sailor Florence Arthaud.
