( WJET/WFXP ) — A pilot is reportedly uninjured after a helicopter crash at a northwestern Pennsylvania airport Thursday morning.

According to Harborcreek Township Supervisor Tim May, this happened around 10:20 a.m. at Moorhead Airpark — 9245 South Haskell Road — in North East.

Our crews on the scene talked with the pilot — identified as 82-year-old Douglas Duer, of Erie — who said he didn’t have any injuries. Duer also told us the cause of the crash was a “dynamic helicopter rollover probably caused by a gust of wind.”

Original reports stated that one person had suffered minor injuries.

No passengers were on the helicopter.

This is a developing story.
