He added he could not confirm the information of the helicopter crash just yet.

“Police officers have been dispatched to the scene. The terrain is inaccessible,” Bobar told N1.

The police, firefighters and the ambulance service have been dispatched to the scene of the alleged crash.

It is not known whether there are any casualties or whose helicopter it might be.
