TWO men have walked away with only cuts and bruises from the crash of a small helicopter crash southeast of Melbourne.
The light civilian aircraft was coming in for a landing near Kongwak, about 100 kilometres from the city, when it crashed at about 3pm (AEST) on Sunday, police said.
The 69-year-old pilot and a 43-year-old passenger suffered minor injuries but managed to walk to a nearby home to raise the alarm.
The passenger was taken to hospital for treatment of a cut on his head.
Investigators believe the engine may have cut out on the Hughes 500 chopper. Air safety officials have been told of the incident.
