Authorities say there are no survivors after a helicopter crashed Saturday afternoon near a small airport in the Twin Cities suburbs and burst into flames.

Officers found the downed aircraft, later identified as a Robinson R66, at about 2:45 p.m. local time in an area west of Airlake Airport, according to a statement from the Lakeville Police Department.

Emergency personnel determined there did not appear to be any survivors of the crash.

It is unclear how many people were onboard the helicopter.

A Robinson R66 is a single-engine turbine helicopter with a glass cockpit that seats one pilot and four passengers.

The crash site is in a non-residential, non-commercial area, and there is no indication of any injuries to those on the ground, according to police.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) told Fox News Digital the helicopter crashed “under unknown circumstances and a post-crash fire ensued.”

Once on site, the investigator will document the scene and examine the aircraft. The helicopter will then be taken to a secure facility for further evaluation.  

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also been notified and will be responding to the scene, according to police.
