On 01.08.2024, The AW119Kx helicopter force landed on Avenida Tereza Cristina in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and suffering a tail rotor strike and collapsed skids.
The helicopter was rescuing a person from an accident involving five trailers on the Ring Road, but when it took off, it encountered difficulties and had to land on the street, where the strong impact caused damage to the skis and the tail rotor hitting a wall.
Even though it was scary, both the crew and the person who was hurt in the accident on the Ring were not hurt.
An ambulance from a road concessionaire has already taken the victim to the hospital.
