A helicopter crashed into a field near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, leaving a 70-year-old man dead and three people injured. The pilot, aged 41, and two passengers—a 10-year-old boy and a 58-year-old woman—sustained minor injuries. Emergency services responded after a call at 10.15am on Thursday and Ings Lane in Bentley was closed while crews attended. South Yorkshire Police and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch have launched a joint inquiry and are seeking witnesses and any footage. Reports indicate the helicopter took off from Retford Gamston airport on a private flight and is believed, based on photos, to belong to Kuki.
