Helicopter crashed in the forest in Leksand - several residents heard strange noises
UPDATED TODAY 17:51 PUBLISHED TODAY 12:37
Dan Asplund was out on his plot when he saw the helicopter above him. A few minutes later, the craft disappeared and then he heard the sound when the helicopter crashed just beyond his house.
On Tuesday, a helicopter with three people crashed south of Leksand near Djursjön. SVT Dalarna has talked to several residents in the area who both heard strange noises and saw the helicopter itself crash.

- I followed it with my eyes two laps. I saw when the helicopter went down and then I heard a strange sound, says Dan Asplund, one of the people SVT Nyheter Dalarna talked to.

It was during Tuesday morning that a helicopter suddenly went down near Skeberg south of Leksand. The helicopter went down into the forest, which several residents both saw and heard.

He says that earlier in the day the JAS plan passed and that the county administrative board is usually out and about. But the helicopter caught his interest.

"Rugged"
Just over half an hour before he himself had walked at the crash site.

- It is rough that an accident occurs near the house node, says Dan Asplund.

- The helicopter was here spinning and going around, but we usually have helicopters here so it is not unusual in itself, says Linda Tidings, resident nearby.

According to Linda, it is not uncommon for helicopters to fly around the area to check lines and other things.

- But something must have happened to it but I did not notice anything strange when I saw it, she says.

They live right near the place where the helicopter accident occurred.
