One person is dead after a helicopter crash this morning at Rangiuru, south of Te Puke in the western Bay of Plenty.
The helicopter with two people aboard came down in a paddock just off Young Road about 6.30am.
A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries.
St John Ambulance area manager Ken Hansen said it was a small helicopter, which was still burning when he arrived.
He said one person died at the scene and a second man was flown to Tauranga Hospital with spinal injuries.
The helicopter may have been on fire before it hit the ground.
