Prime Minister in hospital after helicopter crash

A helicopter in which Prime Minister Leszek Miller was traveling made a crash landing in Chojnów in the vicinity of Piaseczno, 20 kilometers from Warsaw. According to unofficial information, 10 passengers were injured. Miller was only slightly hurt and he is currently in hospital probably with a broken limb. According to government spokesman Marcin Kaszuba, the Prime Minister was able to get out of the helicopter by himself. There were 12 people in the machine, including the head of Miller's Political Office Aleksandra Jakubowska as well as Undersecretary of State in the Treasury Ministry Józef Wożniakowski. Kaszuba said that the helicopter had to crash land due to technical problems probably connected with the engine. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.Z.
