An 80-year-old Pretoria woman’s family treated her with a helicopter ride on her birthday – but the chopper crashed, according to a report on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But birthday girl Sanna van der Walt escaped serious injury, suffering only a few bruises and scratches.<\/p>\n

Co-pilot Andre Potgieter told Beeld newspaper he was not sure what had caused the helicopter to crash at the Wonderboom airport in Pretoria on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pilot jumped out to close the fuel cap\u2026 we then cut the safety belt of the ‘tannie’ [Van der Walt] with a knife, and got her out,\u201d said Potgieter.<\/p>\n

No-one was seriously injured. Van der Walt was treated in hospital. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
