A CHANNEL 10 cameraman was taken hospital after a helicopter crashed east of Perth while he was filming a truck rollover.

A Network Ten spokesperson this evening said the chopper suffered a problem mid-flight.

"Our Ten News Perth helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing earlier today after encountering some issues mid-flight,'' the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said a cameraman on board the chopper and the pilot escaped uninjured.

The cameraman was taken to Royal Perth Hospital for observation but has since been released.

"Luckily both the pilot and camera operator were unharmed,'' the spokesperson said.

''The camera operator was taken to hospital for a check-up as a precautionary measure, however has since been given the all clear and released."

An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman said they had received preliminary reports that the Bell 206 helicopter hit the ground hard while it was filming a traffic incident at Baskerville.

The spokesman said initial advice was that the helicopter sustained substantial damage.

A Fire and Emergency Services Association spokesman told AAP the helicopter was on its side in a paddock with the tail section broken off.

The helicopter was understood to be filming a truck rollover on Weir Road when the crash happened at about 11am.
