After a helicopter crashed into a lava field, two individuals were critically injured, including a teen girl.

Six persons were on board the Bell 407 helicopter, which belonged to Paradise Helicopters, at the time of the crash, according to Cyrus Johnasen of Hawaii County.

Officials stated the pilot, a 50-year-old male, and a 19-year-old girl were found in critical condition and were taken to a hospital, according to Hawaii News Now.

Before being rescued, the pilot was stuck inside the plane. The ambulance took two ladies, ages 18 and 19, and a male, age 23, to the hospital. The highly damaged chopper’s twisted wreckage has been uploaded on social media. The rotor of the helicopter appears twisted, and the doors are dangling off their hinges.

Pilot Daniel Maurice, 64, Patrick Rader, 55, Erika Tevez-Valdez, 42, and Matthew Haider, 44, were among the casualties.
