Two men were critically injured in a helicopter crash in an abandoned industrial park off 16th Avenue in Midrand yesterday afternoon.


Netcare spokesperson Jeff Wicks says paramedics found the two men and stabilized them before they were rushed to hospital by helicopter and an ambulance.


The helicopter split up when it hit the ground with the largest piece coming to rest against concrete fencing.


The cause of the accident and the series of events leading up to it will form the subject of a Civil Aviation Authority Investigation.
