A helicopter crashed at 9:30 p.m. Monday in the Chickahominy River off Cypress Point just northwest of Williamsburg.
The occupants, a married couple, were trying to land on their property's helipad, said Tammy Van Dame, spokeswoman for the Virginia State Police. The pair were not identified.
The woman was rescued, uninjured, by private boaters after she swam from the helicopter, Van Dame said. Rescuers were still seeking her husband early today.
