Yesterday morning an accident took place which, miraculously, resulted in no casualties. A DGT Pegasus helicopter crashed on the outskirts of Robledo de Chavela, in Madrid, specifically at kilometer 2 of the M-512. As we say, there was no serious personal injury, since the two occupants of the aircraft were slightly injured. A big scare.
Apparently, the DGT Pegasus helicopter had some kind of technical problem and they were forced to carry out a emergency landing. They were unable to carry out the maneuver successfully, as the aircraft ended up overturned and damaged, breaking the tail and the propellers of both rotors, as can be seen in the photos published by Social Drive. Meanwhile, it seems that the cabin did not suffer too much damage.
