Four people have been injured in a helicopter crash in Western Australia's far northern Kimberley region.
Police say no-one was killed but the pilot was seriously injured when the helicopter came down about 240km north-east of Derby, near the Imintji Aboriginal Community, just after 11am WST (1pm AEST).
Details of the pilot's injuries are not yet known, although a Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) spokeswoman said three people who were aboard the aircraft are believed to have spinal injuries.
The fourth person has cuts and bruises.
Police said a St John's Ambulance, which had been in the area for the Gibb River Road Mountain Bike Challenge, was on site to treat the injured.
A doctor and a nurse from the RFDS were being flown to the area.
The helicopter is believed to be a Robinson R44 owned by Broome Helicopter Services, which operates tourist, commercial and other flights.
The company could not immediately be contacted for comment.
The area around the Imintji community is popular with tourist flights because of its gorges and rugged scenery.
Police later said members of the Imintji community had first raised the alarm and the St John's ambulance, with a doctor on board, had driven 190km to help.
Two helicopters were expected on the scene shortly after 3pm (WST) and the injured were to be taken to Derby Hospital.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said it is currently gathering information on the crash.
Good to hear all involved in the crash are alive.
