Hong Kong: Two pilots and 11 passengers on board a Hong Kong helicopter have survived a crash into the southern Chinese territory's Victoria Harbor.

Hong Kong police spokesman Horace Chan said on Saturday that all 13 on board suffered non-life threatening injuries.

He said two were confirmed with light injuries, while the others were sent to a local hospital for further checkups.

Hong Kong's Cable TV reported the helicopter had mechanical problems and was forced to make an emergency landing onto Victoria Harbor.

Hong Kong's radio RTHK reported on its website that the helicopter belongs to a company that runs every-half hour services between the territory and the neighboring Chinese gambling enclave Macau.
