LOS ANGELES -- A helicopter possibly involved in a film shoot crashed or made a hard landing near Palmdale Thursday, injuring three people aboard and wrecking the aircraft, based on pictures from the scene.
Paramedics were sent to an area two miles north of Palmdale Boulevard on 70th Street East about 1:10 p.m., said county fire Capt. Mark Savage.
He said one person in the helicopter suffered a "moderate" injury, and two others had minor ailments.
The most severely injured patient reportedly was taken by air ambulance to the trauma center at Providence-Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills.
The Bell 206 helicopter sustained severe damage, Savage said, and there was a fuel leak but no fire.
The accident investigation continues, Savage said.
