Helicopter down in Mansfield Victoria

One person is seriously injured, and another is also being treated by paramedics after a helicopter crash in Victoria.
Emergency services were called to a property south of Mansfield at about 3.10pm.
Two air ambulance helicopters have been sent to the scene to assist local paramedics who are treating the two people.

Emergency services were called to the property on Mansfield-Woods Point Road just after 3pm.
The female passenger was seriously injured, and has been airlifted to hospital. She remains in a critical condition.
The male passenger received minor injuries, but was also taken to hospital in an air ambulance.
Police are investigating, and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Australian Transport Safety Bureau will also be notified of the incident.

It seems from the article that helicopters only ever have passengers, never a pilot. Autonomy is here.

Allegedly Hit powerlines and blacked out the locality. Not sure if that was cause or effect of something else.

Allegedly hit powerlines on landing. It was an R44.
