The pilot of a helicopter of the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) was slightly injured this Friday when he suffered an accident during a landing in the Almería municipality of La Mojonera (Almería).
Emergencias 112 de Andalucía received a notice about 12:40 p.m. warning of this incident, which occurred in the parking lots of the Corijo Blanco bar in La Mojonera near the A-7 motorway.
Although at first it was indicated to 112 that there were no injuries, medical assistance was later requested because the pilot was “stunned” by the blow.
Sources from the emergency device have specified that, according to the first indications, the device could have had problems during the landing maneuver, so that during the operation the tail engine of the ship would have hit a nearby tree due to a blow of wind.
He has indicated that the pilot and a fixed camera operator were traveling in the helicopter, as well as that both are “unharmed”.
He explained that this helicopter serves the Malaga Traffic Management Center, but that it goes to the province of Almería to carry out support work periodically, for example with events such as the ‘Dreambeach’ festival that these days is held in Cuevas del Almanzora (Almeria).
To the place, members of the Fire Department, Civil Guard, Local Police and health workers have been mobilized, and notice has been given to the Coordination and Rescue Center, the Air Traffic Control Center and the Almería airport. The Civil Guard has taken charge of the incident.
