A Bell 206L4 helicopter, PK-ZUV, crashed while attempting to land in Bentong, Pahang. The accident occurred near a hot spring pool at Kg. Janda along the old Kuala Lumpur-Bentong road.
The helicopter had been engaged in aerial work for the electricity company Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)'s transmission tower construction project
It had been operating in the area since 21 January 2025. On the day of the accident, it was returning to the landing site for refuelling when it lost control while hovering above the ground. The aircraft's skid partially made contact with the landing surface, causing it to topple and catch fire.
A member of the ground crew was tragically struck by the helicopter's rotor blades and instantly perished. Despite minor injuries, the pilot survived the crash.
