many injured in a helicopter crash in the capital of Mexico's
northernmost state of Baja California, Spanish news agency EFE reported
Wednesday.
According to state prosecutor Francisco Javier Alcazar
Jimenez, the helicopter, carrying the news crew, crashed here Tuesday
afternoon when it became tangled in high tension wires overhead and the
pilot lost control of the aircraft.
The news crew were to cover the 'Baja 1000 Road Race', in

various categories, including automobiles and motorcycles.
Jimenez said that the landing gears of the aircraft got
tangled in the electric cable running between poles near the San Pedro
Martir mountains, and pilot Isaac Sarabia lost control. The chopper
crashed just a few metres away from galleries where spectators were
sitting.
The two TV cameramen on board, Juan Pablo Gonzalez and Israel
Romero Reyes, were killed but Sarabia and co-pilot Rodolfo Calvillo
survived the crash.
