Injuries reported after a helicopter crashes on the Hawaiian island of Kauai

Hawaii Helicopter Crash - (Copyright 2019 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

A helicopter crashed Thursday on a remote beach on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and authorities say injuries have been reported.

The helicopter was carrying one pilot and four passengers when it crashed at Kalalau Beach, the Kauai Fire Department said. The beach is on the Na Pali Coast on Kauai's north shore.

It was not immediately clear how many people were injured or how severely.

Helicopter tours are a popular way to explore the cliffs, beaches and waterfalls lining the Na Pali Coast, which is otherwise only accessible by hiking or boat.
