Leicester City’s owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s helicopter crashed into the club’s car park shortly after their clash against West Ham United.
The incident occurred shortly after the Foxes’ 1-1 draw with West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Srivaddhanaprabha’s helicopter reportedly left the ground as usual from the centre of the pitch at about 8:30pm local time but it is thought to have come down swiftly in the car park.
Emergency services are currently at the King Power Stadium where an aircraft came down in a car park behind the ground. Enquiries to establish the exact circumstances of the collision are ongoing https://t.co/swEdWeByGH

Srivaddhanaprabha bought Leicester in August 2010 and was named chairman in February 2011. The Thai businessman oversaw Leicester’s remarkable Premier League triumph in 2016.
