    It happened at Vauxhall mate. Helicopter hit a crane on route to Wandsworth (Battersea Helipad I presume). 2 confirmed dead so far

    2 dead, 3 minor injuries, 1 serious (pulled from burning car) and also checking the river according to one BBC reporter.

    Very foggy along the Thames this morning and visibility was poor. Looks to have clipped the crane on top of a new high tower being built next to the river by the bridge. The crane looks like it is about to fall down too, will take a lot of work to get it all removed safely.
