(NECN) - Connecticut state Rep. William Wadsworth of Farmington crash-landed a helicopter Saturday night, according to the Hartford Courant. The newspaper says the Farmington Republican was not injured, however a female passenger was taken to the hospital. Officials say the accident could have been worse. "We even see a lot of car crashes that were ten times worse than this. So it really was a lucky sight it didn't hit the transmission lines, which could've been ugly," said Farmington Fire Chief Tim Vibert.
