Two helicopters crashed midair in southern New Jersey on Sunday, leaving one person dead and injuring another, officials said. The aircraft, an Enstrom F-28A and an Enstrom 280C helicopter, “collided in mid-air” at about 11:25 a.m. near Hammonton Municipal Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said. Papers and clothes litter the field next to the badly damaged red Enstrom F-28A, while the white body of the Enstrom 280C sits close by, charred beyond recognition. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said his office is in contact with the NTSB and is requesting more information about the crash. “Reports of this morning’s fatal helicopter crash over South Jersey are horrifying and tragic,” Booker wrote on social media.
