Reports say the chopper hit an overhead cable and crashed into roadside earthworks.

ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring confirmed eight people were injured, one seriously, according to African News Agency.

"Eight people were found to be injured. One had sustained serious injuries while seven others had sustained minor to moderate injuries. Paramedics treated the patients and provided the seriously injured [patient] with advanced life support interventions before they were transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment," Meiring was quoted as saying.
