BOISE -- A helicopter carrying two people has made a safe landing in a hayfield near Boise after its engine quit during a flight.

Boise's fire department says no one was hurt in the Wednesday afternoon emergency landing at the south end of So. Maple Grove Road.

According to firefighters, the pilot said he was about 350 feet in the air when the chopper hit turbulence and the engine shut down.

But the pilot was quickly able to get it started and managed to land safely.

The Federal Aviation Administration in Boise was responding to the incident.
