Narrative: The Enstrom 480B was spraying the local pine forests against insects when apparently an engine failure occurred. The pilot tried to make an emergency landing on a slope, but failed and the helicopter crashed from a height of 5-6 metres. The pilot sustained a broken leg and was hospitalised.
