Police say no one was hurt when a state police helicopter made a hard landing Tuesday morning in Wayne County.

Utah Department of Public Safety officials say four people were aboard the rotorcraft when it went down while helping with an antelope capture near the south-central Utah town of Bicknell.

Officials say the helicopter was flying low, about 20 feet above the ground, when the pilot had a loss of lift that forced him to make a controlled hard landing.

The helicopter was damaged and the Federal Aviation Administration has been notified.
