A helicopter crash at North Las Vegas Airport has sparked investigations from both local police and federal regulators last night, as sources report. The North Las Vegas Police Department responded after the incident occurred just before 9:10 p.m., with initial reports revealing no serious injuries, according to 8 News Now.

The crash site near Rancho Drive and Cheyenne Avenue saw first responders gathering evidence where a Robinson R44 helicopter met with an accident during takeoff; however, it appears to have struck a vehicle parked while landing, as per the Federal Aviation Administration's later statements.

In a statement obtained by News 3 LV, the FAA specified, "A Robinson R44 struck a parked vehicle and crashed while landing at the airport." Nevertheless, disputes arise as NLVPD suggests the mishap took place during an attempted ascension. The helicopter in question is linked to a Henderson-based leasing company, although the operator's identity and potential crash cause remain unclear.

Confirming the outcome regarding the individuals involved, the NLVPD stated that the pilot and two passengers sustained only minor injuries and were able to walk away from the wreck. As a result, investigations by both the police and the FAA are ongoing to determine the details of the crash, and questions regarding aviation safety measures at the airport are likely to increase.
