In a wild scene caught on video, a helicopter crashed in Huntington Beach, California, on Saturday, leaving five people hospitalized, authorities confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Law enforcement responded around 2 p.m. to reports of a helicopter going down in a beach parking lot between Twin Dolphins Drive and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach.
The aircraft, which in stunning video is seen suddenly spinning out of control before falling from the sky, was linked to the “Cars ’N Copters on the Coast” event scheduled for Sunday, officials said.
“As of this time, the two people who were in the helicopter have been safely pulled from the wreckage, and three people on the street have sustained injuries,” a spokesperson for the Huntington Beach Fire Department told Fox News Digital.

Huntington Beach resident Tim Robinson, who witnessed the crash, captured a video of the crash, showing the helicopter lodged between a building and several palm trees.
“At first I thought it was a movie,” Robinson told Fox News Digital. “It seemed like a pretty crazy stunt to do. And it spun around a few times and slammed into that. It was crazy.”

He added, “As it was coming down low, I heard kind of like a ping, and a part came flying off the helicopter. I don’t know what it was. I have no clue. It came off and that’s when it started spinning out of control.”
The cause of the crash is not yet clear. The investigation remains ongoing, according to the City of Huntington Beach.

Seattle’s Awa Fam, the No. 3 overall draft pick, made her WNBA debut and finished with 10 points in 20 minutes. The 6-foot-4 center, who turns 20 on June 17, joined the Storm on Friday after helping Valencia win the Spanish League title.

The Mystics hit 35 of 41 (85%) from the foul line, and shot just 20% (4 of 20) from beyond the arc.
Stefanie Dolson scored 16 points with perfect shooting. She went 3 of 3 from the field, 2 of 2 from 3-point range, and 8 of 8 from the line for the Storm (3-4). Zia Cooke added 10 points.
Dominique Malonga, who leads the Storm in scoring (16.0 points per game) and rebounds (7.3), missed her fourth consecutive game due to the concussion protocol.
Sonia Citron led the Mystics (2-3) with 16 points. Kiki Iriafen, Georgia Amoore and Angela Dugalic added 13 points apiece, and Shakira Austin had 12.
Hiedeman hit a 3-pointer that gave Seattle the lead for good early in the second quarter, and her long floater with 1.8 seconds left in the period made it 49-37. The Mystics trailed by double figures throughout the second half.
Johnson made 7 of 12 from the field and finished with seven rebounds and five assists.
