Very sad news to hear that three people were killed and one critically injured in this helicopter crash. I heard they were all in the helicopter for flying lessons.

Three people have died following a helicopter crash during a flying lesson on the Isle of Wight.

A fourth person is in hospital in a serious condition following the incident, according to Hampshire Police.

Officers were called to the scene of a "helicopter that had come down" off Shanklin Road near Ventnor at 9.24am on Monday, the force said.

A spokesman for the aircraft's owner Northumbria Helicopters said G-OCLV - which is listed as a Robinson R44 II helicopter - was involved in the accident during a flying lesson.

Helicopter trash is always scary and I sincerely hope there is an emergency rescue to save people's life in that area.
