New Delhi: A private helicopter, which was flying to pick up Shiv Sena Deputy Leader Sushma Andhare,  crashed on landing in Maharashtra, IANS reported quoting officials.

According to a live video recording shared by Andhare, the chopper was making a landing attempt at an unidentified location and suddenly it seemed to swerve, wobble, lose balance and then crash with a loud sound in a cloud of dust on an open ground.

The pilot managed to jump off the ill-fated chopper and survived, but the white-and-blue hired rotary-winger was badly damaged in the crash that occurred at Mahad town in Raigad, the report added.
