Jammed Controls - Instances?

Does anyone have any first or second hand knowledge of a jammed control event? What happened and how was the helicopter recovered?
Or links to accident investigations.

I'm aware of the S-61 in the UK, 2018 with a seized swashplate on takeoff but not of any other recent ones.
In the process of updating our training notes and would love to include some relevant case studies.

Focusing more on finding actual jammed control situations rather than YCE due to tail rotor driveshaft failures or broken pitch control links etc. Forum search didn't turn up much.
Thanks in advance!
