Florida man drives through roadblock, crashes into medical helicopter

A medical helicopter was hit by a suspected drunk driver in Orange County, Fla. overnight after the chopper had landed in the street to tend to a pedestrian who was hit by another car.

The chopper was on the ground near US-192 and SR-429 when the suspected impaired driver drove around roadblocks and hit the helicopter hard enough to damage the tail and prevent it from taking off.

The injured pedestrian was transported to the hospital by ambulance.

The helicopter had to be towed away.
