Helicopter belonging to Leicester City owner crashes outside stadium

Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s helicopter has crashed outside the King Power Stadium.

An eye witness told Sky that a helicopter took off from the pitch at around 20:30pm, not long after the conclusion of the Foxes 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday.

The helicopter was seen spiralling out of control in the air and crashed in the car park 200 yards away just minutes later.

Leicestershire police released a short statement, simply saying: “We are dealing with an incident in the vicinity of the King Power Stadium. Emergency services are aware and dealing.”
