Three women were injured Sunday when the helicopter they were riding in fell into the middle of a street in the Cádiz town of El Puerto de Santa María. The accident occurred as the helicopter was trying to make a forced landing in an empty lot, authorities said.

Firemen and emergency services put anti-flammable material around the chopper to keep it from exploding. The accident is still being investigated.

According to police sources, the helicopter was from Germany and carrying a television crew which was taping a video documentary.
