One person has been airlifted to hospital after a helicopter crashed into a field on the Isle of Wight, emergency services say.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary were called to the scene of a "light aircraft crash" off Shanklin Road near Ventnor at 9.24am, the force said.

A witness, Leigh Goldsmith, told the Isle of Wight County Press she saw the helicopter "spiralling" before crashing into a hedge as she drove along a nearby road on Monday morning.
