Quebec provincial police say a helicopter crashed into a field in Drummondville on Thursday night.

But police spokesman Louis-Philippe Bibeau said it was too early to comment on the state of the person or persons on board.

Emergency services were called to the scene just north of the city at about 9 p.m.

Bibeau says the crash also caused a fire.

Drummondville is about 110 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
