Air Evac Lifeteam aircraft had in-air problem on approach to the local 911 centre and put down in a hurry. Power lines cut – not known if that was cause or effect of the heavy landing. Helicopter ended up on its skids, tail boom creased, main blades missing, upper part of tail bent and significant damage in area of rotor head, starboard windshield broken – see photo
