Five people were rushed to the hospital after a helicopter crash in Huntington Beach, a popular oceanfront area in Southern California. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon, around 2 p.m., near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Huntington Street. Huntington Beach firefighters responded to the scene, and city officials confirmed that the two people on board the helicopter were safely extracted from the wreckage. However, three pedestrians on the street were also injured, and all five individuals were transported to the hospital for medical attention. The crash caused significant disruption, as police closed Pacific Coast Highway between Huntington Street and Beach Boulevard, urging residents to avoid the area and use alternate routes for several hours. Social media footage captured the dramatic moment the helicopter spun and crashed onto palm trees and a nearby building, just off the beach. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and this story is still developing. As of now, the public awaits further updates on the condition of the injured and the investigation's findings.
