A heartbreaking event unfolded as an air ambulance tragically crashed into a hospital, leading to the loss of four lives and leaving several others injured.

The accident occurred shortly after the air ambulance took flight. It was navigating through dense fog in the southwestern part of Turkey when it suddenly descended, colliding with the hospital building.

Reports indicate that the helicopter proceeded with its takeoff from the hospital’s rooftop in Mugla despite the poor visibility conditions caused by the thick fog. It was on its way to Antalya, as seen in images broadcasted by NTV—a Turkish television channel.

Moments after lift-off, the helicopter struggled with the fog, swaying in various directions before the perilous descent occurred.

The chopper ultimately crashed into a large vacant field adjacent to the hospital, as reported by Turkish media sources.

Before it hit the ground, the helicopter collided with a nearby building, immediately breaking into numerous pieces upon impact. This tragic incident has left the community in shock.

An image captured the aftermath, showing the hospital’s damaged walls and the scattered wreckage of the helicopter. Further details about the crash have not been disclosed by the local media.

This unfortunate accident serves as a somber reminder of the inherent dangers associated with air travel, especially under adverse weather conditions.
