Helicopter crash in Turkey claims four lives

In southwestern Turkey, a helicopter crash resulted in the deaths of four individuals. The air ambulance hit a hospital in Mugla during takeoff and crashed.

The helicopter carried two pilots, a doctor, and a nurse; there were no casualties on the ground. Dense fog shortly after takeoff limited visibility, causing the helicopter to collide with the building’s top floor.

It crashed in the courtyard of the education and research hospital in Mugla. The helicopter was scheduled to depart for Antalya the previous day but remained grounded due to adverse weather.
