Shocking video shows the moment a Bell 222 helicopter crashes in Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday, leaving five people hospitalized.
Law enforcement responded around 2 p.m. to reports of a helicopter going down in a beach parking lot between Twin Dolphins Drive and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach.
The aircraft seen suddenly spinning out of control before falling from the sky, was linked to the “Cars ’N Copters on the Coast” event scheduled for Sunday, officials said.
“As of this time, the two people who were in the helicopter have been safely pulled from the wreckage, and three people on the street have sustained injuries,” a spokesperson for the Huntington Beach said. All five people were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
