One person is dead after a helicopter crashed in the Lake Coleridge area, about 100km west of Christchurch, this afternoon.
Authorities were told the helicopter was missing about 2pm after a hunter who had been dropped off this morning made it to a nearby station to say it had not turned up, National Rescue Co-ordination Centre spokesman Ross Henderson said.
The helicopter was found in the Rolleston Range northwest of Lake Coleridge and one of the two occupants died at the scene.
