A helicopter has crashed into a back garden in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, leaving its wreckage by the front door. Nobody was hurt.
According to BBC News, it had taken off from a nearby ‘across the road’, before ‘getting into difficulties’ and crashing into the garden. Happily, there was no post-crash fire.
The family which owns the house is now calling for “a ban on light aircraft being used in a residential area”.
