Ag Heli down near Rocky

Heard bits and pieces of this over the VHF yesterday:


Helicopter destroyed in fiery crash
21st July 2009

Emergency services were yesterday called to the scene of a helicopter crash near Theodore, 200 kilometres south-west of Rockhampton.


The crop duster crashed on a property on Davies Road around 3.30pm.


"The single occupant of the chopper escaped the wreckage, which caught fire," an emergency services spokesperson said.



"The man is not believed to be injured."


Firefighters contained the fire.
