A light helicopter, visually identical to Aerokopter AK 1-3 Sanka, went down into woods, reportedly because of mechanical problems. Dashcam video from a car passing by showed that the helicopter was in autorotation descent prior to striking trees. Both occupants, the pilot and a 12-year-old girl, survived the crash.
A local source has identified the mishap aircraft as a Zhonglian F-27 produced by Changzhou Zhonglian Aviation Technologies Co., Ltd. Details about this type of helicopter remain unclear.
