The Star's headline says it crashed to the ground, as if it crashed somewhere else (like the sky) would be less newsworthy. Story relates lost power & forced landing. A bit of metal work and some buffing and they expect it back in the air next year. Pilot sustained a shoulder injury.

Yup never seems to crash in the air unless there is another object for it run into nice writing by them.
