A midair collision between two helicopters near the popular tourist strip of Main Beach on Australia’s Gold Coast has left at least four people dead and three others in critical condition, authorities said.
The collision happened around 2 p.m. local time near the popular tourist strip of Main Beach on the Gold Coast, south of Brisbane. “Those two aircraft, when collided, have crash landed on the sand bank just out from Sea World Resort,” Queensland Police Inspector Gary Worrell, a regional duty officer for the southeastern region, told reporters. He added it had been difficult for emergency services to access the sand bank, located not far from the coast.
He added that after the crash, nearby police and members of the public rushed to the site, trying to remove and perform first aid on those inside the helicopter. Angus Mitchell, Chief Commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau , said in a statement that an investigation had been launched into the collision.
