Two Australian and three Indonesian nationals survived a tourist helicopter crashed in Bali, after it became entangled in a kite string, officials said on Friday.
The Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter, owned by PT Whitesky came down in Pecatu village in the coastal area on the southern side of BaliAviation, , a statement from Indonesia’s transport ministry said.
Photos circulated by Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency showed the helicopter with five people on board — including the crew and passengers — crashed on a limestone cliff.
“All victims could be evacuated safely,” the agency in Bali said in a statement. Three of them were taken to a hospital for further treatment.
Authorities say a team is being sent to the crash site for further investigation.
