Emergency care personnel were immediately dispatched. On arrival, it was found that a light helicopter, a Robinson 22 was fully submerged in the Umgeni River.
FeedbackA rescue mission was launched by members of the Emer-G-Med team and the police search and rescue unit to retrieve the victims from the wreckage.
