According to Sky Sports News, “ The helicopter took off from the pitch at about 8.30pm but lost control within a few seconds and crashed into car park E - the club's staff car park which is about 200 yards from the stadium.”

UK Mirror reports that Srivaddhanaprabha was in the helicopter when it crashed.

Speaking on the incident, the police issued a statement saying "We are dealing with an incident in the vicinity of the King Power Stadium. Emergency services are aware and dealing."

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha bought Leicester City for £39million in 2010.
