A routine evening near Carlisle Airport suddenly turned into a terrifying aviation emergency when a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter collided with a Cessna 150 in midair.
The crash happened around 7:50 p.m. on August 19, according to the FAA. The Bell 407 was carrying two state troopers when the aircraft went down near the airport in Cumberland County. Emergency crews rushed to the scene as investigators secured the wreckage.
The FAA and NTSB are now investigating what caused the collision. Witnesses reported seeing the helicopter flying at low altitude shortly before the crash, but officials have not identified that as the cause.
**What happened in those final moments remains the key question.**
