Helicopter Crashes in Scottish Highlands

By Jennifer Hill, Scottish Press Association


A helicopter has crashed in the Scottish Highlands, police said tonight.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash near to Kentallan, south west of Ballchuilish, at around 9pm.

Northern Constabulary said two casualties had been traced near to the wreckage, but said their conditions were not known at this time.

Initial report suggested that a small helicopter had crashed into the hillside at Ardsheal, a spokeswoman said.

She added there was nothing to suggest at this stage the helicopter was a military aircraft.

Rescue 177 from HMS Gannet is at the scene assisting in the rescue of casualties.

The local mountain rescue team is also believed to be in attendance.
From Scotsman.com Not much news on this one yet. Doesn't sound good though.
