    LEBANON, Ind. (WLS) -- Three people traveling from Chicago were involved in a helicopter accident in Indiana Sunday.
    It happened Sunday afternoon in Lebanon, just outside of Indianapolis.
    While landing in a field in Lebanon, a Sikorsky SK-58 helicopter clipped a parked semi truck trailer, according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration.

    The pilot reported a minor injury, the FAA said. No other injuries were reported.

    The FAA is investigating the accident.
    The helicopter is owned by Midwest Helicopter Airways, which is based in suburban Willowbrook.

    Driver - "Boss, it went like this... the trailer was just sitting there and this helicopter fell out of the sky and did all that damage."
    Boss - "Yeah, right. Drug test, NOW!!"

    Why oh why did it have to be a new trailer? Couldn't it have landed on a ta9 series?

    TA17**** are 2018 trailers.

    I am a giant nerd who memorizes our trailer numbering pattern.

    Being a TA178 it is either a stoughton or great dane, most likely stoughton
