VIDEO: DGT Traffic helicopter crashes into a tree while trying to land
A DGT Traffic helicopter suffered an accident this morning (Friday) whilst landing on a plot located in the municipality of La Mojonera in Almería, after catching its tail on a tree.
According to the 112 emergency services, the incident took place at around 12:40pm which is when they received calls reporting that a helicopter had crashed in the car park of a bar and a petrol station near the A-7 highway.
The emergency services coordination and rescue centre dispatched the Western Fire Department, the Guardia Civil, the Local Police, as well as medical personnel to attend to a person who was injured, albeit mildly, in the accident.
Sources from the emergency services at the scene have specified that it looks like a gust of wind caught the helicopter during landing, making it difficult to manoeuvre, and it clipped a tree and fell to the ground, but fortunately not from a very high height.
