R44 down killing a passenger in a passing vehicle
After the hard landing, one of the rotor blades came off, hitting a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck that was carrying a man and his son. The rotor blade hit the father who was inside the truck, killing him at the scene.
Robinsons will straight up kill you....even if you are just driving by minding your own business!
