Helicopter Spins Uncontrollably into Palm Groves at Frequented California Shoreline
A chopper soaring near a crowded California coastline suddenly began spiraling uncontrollably, ultimately dropping height and smashing into a row of palm groves as beachgoers observed.
Videos posted on social media depict the aircraft beginning to twirl over the beach then falling near the edge of the coast, where it ends up lodged among palm groves and a staircase adjacent to the coastal road.
First Aid Details
Local firefighters reported five individuals were rushed to the hospital including a pair who were in the aircraft and were “extracted safely from the crash site” subsequent to the accident on that day.
Three people on the street were hurt. Specifics on their wounds were still under review.
The reason for the accident was not immediately released.
Event Association
The department said the aircraft was connected to an annual “Cars N Copters” benefit occasion scheduled for the next day.
