Emergency responders in Oregon are rushing to the scene where two helicopters collided into each other in mid-air.

The crash near Southeast Highway 154 and Stringtown Road near McMinnville Municipal Airport on Thursday afternoon, with dispatch audio obtained by KGW indicating that two helicopters collided into one another.

An ‘aircraft emergency’ was then called in at 2.09pm, the Yamhill Communications Agency said, and the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office then received a call about the collision at 2.15pm.

One witness told Fox 12 he was standing on the roof of a nearby barn when he saw the helicopters collide and hit the ground just outside the perimeter of the airport. At that point, the witness said he immediately called 911. 

The Oregon Department of Transportation has since posted on X as it warned motorists that all lanes of Route 223 were closed one mile west of Dayton.

‘This could be an extended closure,’ it posted. ‘Use an alternate route.’ 

A source at the McMinnville Fire District told the Daily Mail that all of its crews are at the scene.

In the meantime, it remains unclear whether anybody was killed or injured in the crash.
