A pilot has been killed in a helicopter crash in North Lincolnshire.

The aircraft crashed into a field next to the M180 at Sandtoft at 1244 GMT. The man was the only person in the helicopter at the time of the accident.

Officers from Humberside Police and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch went to the scene of the crash, next to the M180's junction with the A18.

The helicopter, a Robinson 22, is understood to have taken off from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Another pilot is believed to have been on board originally but got off during a stop at Sandtoft Aerodrome.
