Devon MP says investigation started after fatal helicopter crash

The MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport Luke Pollard says an investigation into a helicopter crash on the south coast is underway in a post on X.

It's after a member of the Royal Navy died after a helicopter crashed into the English channel.

The aircraft came down off the Dorset coast on Wednesday night during a training exercise.

Two other service personnel were rescued from the water and taken to hospital. Pollard, who's also the minister for defence has thanked the boat that helped in their rescue.
