Local news reports 2 injured in an R44 crash "on the N2 highway".
APPARENTLY (I.E. I'm repeating a rumour) it was a Netstar chopper that hit a pole (presumably a streetlight) on final for the pad at Greystone. Pilot has head injuries and the tracker has a broken hip. Don't know their names.
There are more details on another, African, aviation forum. (Don't know if I can name it here?).
Get well soon guys.
