A helicopter crashed on a beach in California during a festival, injuring five people.
The incident occurred in Huntington Beach during the ‘Cars and Copters’ festival.
Among those injured in the crash were the pilot and a passenger, as well as three bystanders, one of whom was a child. The injured were hospitalized.
A police statement said that the two people who were aboard the aircraft were safely removed from the wreckage.
