A helicopter belonging to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the billionaire owner of Leicester City Football Club, has crashed outside the King Power Stadium. Videos from the scene show a massive blaze raging on the ground.
There’s still no information on who was on board of the aircraft and if there were any casualties. A Sky Sports News reporter said that witnesses saw the helicopter taking off from the pitch inside stadium “as it does after every game.” The pilot then apparently lost control of the helicopter.
