2 Hurt Slightly in Helicopter Crash
A helicopter performing line maintenance for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. crashed near Moffett Field on Saturday afternoon, injuring the two men on board, PG&E; spokeswoman Maureen Bogues said.
The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. when the main rotor of the Hughes 369 helicopter touched a tower and caused the aircraft to crash upside down in a marshy area two miles north of Moffett Field.
The men, private contractors, suffered only minor injuries, Bogues said. The pilot was held for observation Saturday evening and was reported to be in good condition at Stanford Medical Center. The other man was released earlier.
