"Helicopter 'crashes into crane' in London

Quin Murray said he saw part of the crane on the ground by the crash site
The emergency services are responding to reports of a helicopter crash in south London.

The London Fire Brigade said it had received multiple calls of a helicopter hitting a crane in Vauxhall.

Ex-BBC producer Paul Ferguson said the helicopter "plummeted straight into the ground". People have reported seeing a pall of smoke in the area.

Police said they first received calls at 08:00 GMT and the London Ambulance Service said it was also at the scene.

Transport for London has confirmed there has been an incident.

Mr Ferguson added: "The building the helicopter hit is shrouded in mist."

He said the crane at the top of the building was now hanging down the side of the building."

The pictures being shown on BBC Breakfast don't look too good at all.

Obviously I hope there have been no casualties, but I just can't see how anyone in the helicopter could have survived that
