A helicopter carrying three occupants crashed onto hilly terrain in Poyang County, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. Locals near the crash site told journalists that the helicopter was flying "very low" before it came down. Chinese state media did not provide details about the circumstances of the crash. A video purportedly from the crash site showed scattered debris in a forest with the main wreckage in blaze.
Online source connected to Beijing's propaganda apparatus claimed that the aircraft involved is the prototype of Avicopter AC313A, and there is at least one fatality.
