A helicopter plunged into the waters of Biscayne Bay near Miami, Florida, on Wednesday morning, triggering a massive emergency response as rescue crews raced to the scene.
Three people were reportedly aboard the aircraft. Two were rushed to a trauma center, while a third person is feared dead.
According to WSVN 7News, the small helicopter crashed near Nixon Beach, southwest of Key Biscayne, sending emergency responders scrambling to the area.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed that crews responded to the crash at approximately 11:26 a.m. Wednesday near Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.
According to NBC 6 South Florida, rescue officials identified three patients and confirmed that two adults were transported to a designated landing zone before being airlifted to a trauma center.
Their conditions have not been publicly disclosed.
Disturbing aerial footage from the scene showed the helicopter overturned in the water, with bright yellow flotation devices visible near the wreckage.
WSVN's 7Skyforce helicopter captured the wreckage near the 1200 block of Crandon Boulevard shortly before noon.
Additional footage showed emergency responders gathered around a yellow tarp onshore, apparently covering the third victim.
WSVN reported that the third person is believed to have died. However, authorities had not formally confirmed the fatality in their initial statements.
