Occupants of a helicopter were seen being violently shaken after it crashed into a field.
Footage filmed from a car travelling along an adjacent road shows the rotor blades still spinning as the aircraft lay on the grass with its tail boom snapped.
Two men could be seen inside the cockpit, one half hanging out of the aircraft and the other still strapped tightly into his seat.

They were thrown around like rag dolls as the ultralight helicopter shuddered violently and spun around its vertical axis.
The man hanging partially outside appeared to strike his head repeatedly against the ground and the edge of the door as the aircraft jolted.
Onlookers could be seen watching from nearby but were unable to intervene.
The incident took place in Wujin, Changzhou, China, at around 2pm yesterday (11 Jun).
Police officers attended the scene.
Both occupants were injured, as reported by Need To Know.
One has since been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment, while the other remains in hospital with more serious injuries.
Neither is believed to be in a life-threatening condition.
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
