According to Ellington Fire Department Deputy Chief Brendan Burke, the helicopter contained two people - a student and a pilot- and that it had a hard landing and rolled over.
Burke said that one person had a small cut on his face and the other is fine.
"They're lucky," he said. "Two lucky people. It's better than it could have been."
There was a fuel leak but it was contained. Burke said that the runway will be shut down until the FAA gets there to investigate.
