A tourist helicopter with three people on board crashed-landed on a tennis court.

The chopper encountered a technical fault in mid-air, and the pilot looked for a safe location to carry out an emergency landing.

There were three people in the aircraft at the time: two men aged 45 and 24, and a 32-year-old woman.

Miraculously, they all managed to escape the wreckage and were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

A fourth person, apparently a bystander on the court at the time, was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

The crash landing took place in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires at around 8pm last night (4 Dec).

The three occupants were taken to the Hospital General de Agudos Dr Fernández in a stable condition.

The pilot reportedly suffered the most serious injuries, while the male passenger sustained multiple injuries.

The woman only suffered cuts and scrapes, according to reports.

The pilot said he had to carry out an emergency landing “due to a mechanical failure”.

After landing on the tennis court, the crew reported a rotor failure that caused the Robinson R44 to flip over on the ground.

The tail section and rotors broke off, and the landing skids and fuselage also sustained damage.

While no fuel spill was detected at the accident scene, there was a hydraulic fluid spill, as reported by Need To Know.

It’s unclear how many people were using the tennis court at the time.

The company that owns the helicopter, Hangar Servicios, offers private and executive flights on its website, including domestic and international destinations.

They also offer tours, aircraft sales, and flight lessons.

The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
