Gyrocopter Crash Kills Two at Italian Dam

A two-seat gyrocopter struck cables serving the Campliccioli Dam in northern Italy's Piedmont region on Wednesday, according to authorities, catching fire and crashing to the ground. Both people aboard were killed in the incident, officials said. Italian authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, though initial reports point to a collision with the dam's overhead cable system as the likely trigger for the fatal accident. Video of the crash has circulated showing the aircraft going down near the dam site. Emergency responders were dispatched to the remote mountainous area following the crash. No further details on the identities of the victims have been released as the investigation continues.
