It is not yet clear how many victims are involved – or the extent of any injuries – following the crash in a field off Gravel Lane in Chigwell, Essex, shortly before 10.20am today.
A police spokesman said: “It is not yet known how many people were on board or numbers of casualties, or where the plane was flying to or from.
“We would urge people not to attend the scene. Further updates will be given in due course.”
