The Gazelle helicopter crashed at a farm in Winchcombe, The Daily Mail reported. A woman living nearby said helicopter came down in heavy mist.
'It was on fire and was still burning after emergency services arrived. It's a horrible situation for everyone concerned -- there are ambulances and rescue crews still here now," said Elizabeth Teague.
