Four dead as ambulance helicopter crashes into hospital building in Turkey

MUĞLA: A tragic accident occurred in the Turkish city of Mula when an ambulance helicopter crashed into a hospital building, killing four people, including two pilots, a doctor and a nurse.

According to international news agencies, the accident occurred shortly after the helicopter took off from the helipad above the Mula Training and Research Hospital. As the helicopter was climbing, it suddenly lost control, spun around and hit the top floor of the hospital before crashing to the ground with a loud explosion. All four people on board — two pilots, a doctor and a nurse — died at the scene.

Fortunately, no one was injured on the hospital floor where the helicopter crashed, as it was empty at the time.

Local authorities have suggested that poor weather conditions played a role in the accident, possibly affecting the helicopter’s ability to take off safely. However, a full investigation has been launched to determine the exact cause of the incident.
