A helicopter belonging to Leicester City football club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashes in a ball of flames in the club's car park after a Premier League match, British media say.
A helicopter went down in a ball of flames outside English football club Leceister City on Saturday (October 28).
UK media say it belonged to the club's owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
It's not yet known whether Vichai was on board.
Video from the scene showed the fiery aftermath.
Eyewitnesses told the BBC that the chopper just cleared the top of the club's stadium, before it started to spin, then plummeted to the ground and caught fire.
Emergency services swarmed the scene and closed off access nearby.
Worried fans gathered outside.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED LEICESTER CITY FAN SAYING:
"I thought it was a great day you know, and then it's ended up as probably the darkest day in Leicester City football club's history."
Vichai is a favorite among them.
After he bought the team, Leicester City went on to stun the football world by winning the 2016 league title.
According to Forbes, Vichai is the fifth-richest person in Thailand, worth $4.9 billion dollars.
He's the founder of duty-free giant King Power International.
Hours after the crash, King Power officials in Thailand said they could not yet comment on the incident.
Officials say the cause of the crash is under investigation.
