Translation:

A helicopter crash took place at the airport in Granges Wednesday afternoon, injuring the pilot. Our colleagues of TeleBielingue received a video of a viewer who has filmed, to discover on our site.

As he landed normally at the airport in Granges, Wednesday at 1655, a helicopter Helisuisse suddenly fell on its side, in a spectacular explosion caused by the blades hit the ground. The pilot was uninjured in the accident. He was able to leave their own aircraft. The helicopter was completely destroyed.

A witness was on the scene: Christophe Röthlisberger, who has filmed. He sent his video to TeleBielingue, which we make available. A show will be broadcast on TeleBielingue à ce sujet, Thursday evening.

The Solothurn cantonal police opened an investigation jointly with the Federal Bureau of Accident Investigation Aviation (AAIB), to know the exact causes of the accident.
