	intentionally crashed their car through the perimeter security fence
	and came to a stop in very close proximity to the helicopter.  As the
	driver exited the car and attempted to rush the helicopter, the
	non-flying pilot exited the aircraft and intercepted and restrained
	him from making contact with the aircraft and other crew members.  No
	injuries and no aircraft damage resulted from this incident.

	Driver was subsequently arrested and is facing multiple serious
	charges.
