During a flight to spray agricultural products, the pilot was late in noticing a power line. He managed to fly over it but hit another power line located just behind the first one. The rear section of the helicopter, including the tail rotor, separated from the rest of the helicopter, which continued forward for approximately 150 m before colliding with the ground.
