LEICESTER, England—A helicopter belonging to Leicester City football club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed in a ball of flames in the club’s car park on Saturday after a Premier League match, British media said.

According to eyewitnesses, the helicopter just cleared the top of the stadium before it started to spin and spiral out of control. It then plummeted to the ground just yards from the pitch and burst into flames around an hour after the game had ended.
