2 helicopters collide/At least 6 dead in Rio de Janeiro

At least six people were killed on Sunday after two helicopters collided in mid-air in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 

In a statement from fire authorities, the helicopters then crashed into the parking lot of an electric car dealership, sparking a fire that engulfed at least 20 vehicles.

"At least six fatalities have been confirmed, all of whom were crew members of the aircraft involved in the accident," the statement said.

The accident occurred in the western suburb of Recreio dos Bandeirantes in Rio.

Small plane crashes are common in Brazil. Last month, a small plane crashed into the side of a building in the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte, killing the pilot and co-pilot. /CNA
