A chopper flying near a popular coastal beach abruptly commenced twirling out of control, eventually dropping height and plunging into a line of palm trees as onlookers watched.
Recordings shared on social media depict the aircraft starting to spin over the shoreline then plunging near the edge of the coast, where it gets stuck between palm trees and a steps near the Pacific Coast highway.
Emergency responders stated five persons were rushed to the hospital involving a pair who were in the chopper and were âsafely pulled from the wreckageâ following the accident on that day.
Three individuals on the pavement were injured. Information on their wounds were not yet released.
What led to the incident was not immediately released.
The department said the helicopter was connected to an yearly âCars with Coptersâ fundraising event planned for the following day.
