A suspected collision between two helicopters in a remote part of Argentina has killed all 10 people on board the aircraft.
The two choppers were carrying a documentary film crew when they are thought to have collided near the town of Villa Castelli, in the country’s north-west.
The helicopters belonged to the province of La Rioja and neighbouring Santiago del Estero.
"Apparently there was a collision between two ships with the result of ten people dead," Commissioner César Angulo, Secretary of Security Rioja, told local news outlets. "It was a film crew apparently working on a documentary."
