Two people died when a helicopter collided with a crane close to Vauxhall train station in central London during the morning rush hour, reports Scotland Yard. Nine people were also injured in the incident and have been taken to hospital.
Authorities have confirmed that one of the dead was the pilot of the helicopter and the other was inside the high-rise building the crane was attached to. Out of the nine who were injured in the incident, one is in a critical condition and the rest have light injuries.
London authorities told Reuters that although the investigation is in the early stages, there is “no suggestion of terrorism.”
Witnesses describe seeing the helicopter crash into a crane on St George Wharf tower before plummeting to the street below and bursting into flames, showering the surrounding area in rubble. Several cars were also caught in the ensuing fire.
The London Fire Brigade arrived in significant numbers and managed to put out the blaze and rescue a man trapped in a burning vehicle.
A spokesperson for the Fire Brigade said 60 firemen were involved in a “large response.”
Police cordoned off the area as the crane is currently said to be in a 'precarious position.'
Reports on Twitter also described gridlocked traffic around the crash site blocking the entry of emergency service vehicles.
Wandsworth Road, which runs past Vauxhall Station, has been closed in both directions and people are being evacuat

A helicopter has crashed and exploded in a ball of flames in a busy London street during rush hour. Police say two people were killed.
Witnesses told of seeing the helicopter hit a crane on a building site in Vauxhall, next to the River Thames before it cartwheeled and hit the ground.
The top of the crane apparently also toppled on to the ground and there were reports two cars were caught up in the fiery crash, which happened during rush hour.
Highly flammable fuel from the helicopter created a fireball and pictures from the scene showed wreckage on fire across a large area and smoke and flames rising from the ground by a tower block on Wandsworth Road.
The helicopter, reported to be a private flight, was carrying only the pilot.
The incident happened close the the MI6 headquarters and the site of the new US embassy which is under construction.
There were reports all train services at Vauxhall and Waterloo stations had been suspended.
The scene is close to a commercial helipad near Battersea Power Station.
London Fire Brigade said it had received numerous calls about the incident and it had sent 22 fire trucks to the scene.
The London Ambulance Service said it was responding to the incident but had no further details.
