Read the full NTSB narrative
WHILE BEGINNING A GRADUAL PULL-UP AT THE END OF A SPRAY RUN, THE PLT WAS DISTRACTED BY A PERSON IN A DITCH & DID NOT SEE THE WIRE AT THE END OF THE FIELD. THE WIRE CONTACTED THE TAIL ROTOR & THE HELICOPTER BEGAN TO SPIN. THE PLT REDUCED POWER & WAS ABLE TO LEVEL THE HELICOPTER BEFORE IT COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND.
