Video shows helicopter falling from sky and crashing in California beach; 5 hospitalized

Bangla Press Desk:  In a wild scene caught on video, a helicopter crashed in Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday, leaving five people hospitalized, authorities confirmed to Fox News Digital.

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, which in stunning video is 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 Fire Department told Fox News Digital.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have been notified about the incident, according to a press release from the City of Huntington Beach.

Huntington Beach resident Tim Robinson, who witnessed the crash, captured a video of the crash, showing the helicopter lodged between a building and several palm trees.

"At first I thought it was a movie," Robinson told Fox News Digital. "It seemed like a pretty crazy stunt to do. And it spun around a few times and slammed into that. It was crazy."

Robinson told Fox News Digital he walks along the beach nearly every day, and he saw a part "flying off" the helicopter before it crashed.
