A civilian Bell helicopter operated by Reignwood Star Aviation came down nose-first in a car park at Naidong village, near the Jingcheng motorway in northeast Beijing, at about 11 a.m. on July 30, 2018.

Witnesses said the helicopter lost control in the air before it hit the ground. The fuselage and tail rotor separated on impact.

Three men and one woman were aboard. All four climbed out of the wreckage with minor injuries and were taken to hospital. Nobody on the ground was hurt. The cause was not established in early reports.
