Four people are believed to have died following a helicopter crash in Cley, north Norfolk, police have said. ITV News understands the military helicopter was a HH-60G Pave Hawk. The US Air Force has a base in nearby RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk.

Report suggests a MH-60 Pave Hawk belonging to the USAF at Lakenheath, not a US Army chopper.

One HH-60G from Lakenheath crashed at sea in Norfolk area (eastern Britain). Made official by USAF. People on place should stay in house because of risk of exploding ammunition. Four fatalises. Also info from Sky News.

Later news states that the helicopter accident area is Cley on land. From the beginning they believed is was a sea accident.
