Truck & Helicopter Crash, Perth Australia 01/19/2013 - Guest - 01-19-2013 A CHANNEL 10 cameraman and truck driver are in hospital after a helicopter crashed whilst filming a truck crash east of Perth. An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman said they had received preliminary reports that the Bell 206 helicopter hit the ground hard while it was filming a traffic incident at Baskerville. The spokesman said initial advice was that the helicopter sustained substantial damage. A Dept Fire and Emergency Services spokesman said the helicopter was on its side in a paddock with the tail section broken off. The helicopter was understood to be filming a truck rollover on Weir Road when the crash happened at about 11am. The cameraman has been taken to Royal Perth Hospital for observation, with ABC Radio reporting he may have suffered spinal injuries. The pilot escaped uninjured whilst the driver of the truck was airlifted by RAC to hospital. Police and firefighters are at the scene.
