Posted by The helicopter belonging to Leicester City's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed outside of the club's King Power Stadium following the Foxes’ 1-1 draw with West Ham United in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Srivaddhanaprabha leaves every home game he attends via helicopter, which lands on the field after the King Power stands have emptied. And more than an hour after the 1-1 draw against West Ham on Saturday, the helicopter took off from the center of the stadium's pitch, cleared the stands and crashed seconds later.
There were no immediate details about who was on board.
In the past, Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has regularly used the helicopter to travel between the stadium and London.
Pictures and video posted on social media showed flames and smoke billowing into the air from the stadium parking lot.
Sky Sports reported that the majority of fans had departed the area surrounding the stadium before the incident, though some people were still in the vicinity of the crash.
Multiple clubs and players expressed their concern at news of the crash, while the Premier League tweeted:
