Helicopter was on a repositioning flight when it crashed near the West 30th Street heliport.

Only minor injuries were reported this afternoon after a Bell 206L4 operated by Zip Aviation crashed into New York City’s Hudson River on a repositioning flight from the West 30th Street heliport. The 34-year-old pilot, the only person on board, escaped with an injury to his left hand. A dock worker at the heliport slipped and injured his right wrist while trying to evacuate the area as the distressed helicopter approached.
