The preliminary NTSB Report indicated that the pilot auto rotated to an open field which resulted in a hard landing and injuries to all persons on board.

On September 19, 2013, near Canton, Mississippi, the pilot of a Eurocopter AS350 medical helicopter sustained injuries after making a precautionary emergency landing (“PEL”) in an open field. The pilot, a flight nurse, a paramedic, and a patient were on board. Early indications suggest the helicopter was en route to a hospital when the pilot encountered a problem which resulted in a hard landing.
