Fallen a helicopter to Castione
The aircraft forced to an emergency landing. Read injuries for the pilot and the flight attendant

A helicopter of the Heli Rezia was forced to make an emergency landing this afternoon at around 2.30 pm in the town of Castione. According to the first information collected by Rescue Media, the aircraft hit the guard line of the high voltage line. The pilot, a 54-year-old Swiss resident in Luganese, lost control of the vehicle, but still managed to land in a meadow on the side of the Cantonal road. As you can see from the photos, the aircraft suffered damage in the front part of the cockpit.

In the accident, the pilot and the flight attendant, a 24-year-old Swiss resident in the Bellinzona area, were both lightly injured and both were taken to the hospital by ambulance. On the spot there were agents from the Cantonal Police, from the Police of the city of Bellinzona, the firefighters of Bellinzona and the rescuers of the Green Cross of Bellinzona. The survey is coordinated by the Swiss Security Survey Service (SISI).

The apparatus, according to the cantonal police, was carrying a transport of material to Claro and was returning to the base of San Vittore.

Due to the accident, there were disruptions to road traffic between Castione and Claro.
