NEW YORK Aug 8 —The Coast Guard says a small plane has collided with a helicopter over the Hudson River.
Witnesses say the accident happened just after noon between Manhattan and Hoboken, N.J. Both aircraft crashed into the water.
Emergency crews are on both sides of the river and police divers are going into the water.
Buzz Nahas saw the crash from the shore in Hoboken, N.J. He says there was a loud pop, like a car backfire. He says the helicopter "dropped like a rock" and that the plane lost its wing.
