The helicopter was taking off from the Mugla Training and Research Hospital, the health ministry said in a statement.

Terrifying footage shows the helicopter taking flight in very low visibility.

Harrowing pictures of the Turkish emergency facility show several of the panels ripped from the building.

The helicopter is said to have rapidly fell to the ground and smashed into several pieces on impact.

Images show the wreckage surrounded by debris from the smashed up hospital wall.

All four crew members on board – made up of two pilots, a doctor and another medical worker – died in the crash.

Mugla’s regional governor, Idris Akbiyik, confirmed no one else was injured inside the hospital or on the ground.

The aircraft was reportedly heading to Antalya.

Turkey‘s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was left devastated over the fatal collsion.

On social media, he expressed deep sorrow and heartbreak over the tragic news of the deaths of four individuals, identified as our brothers. The incident involved the crash of an ambulance helicopter associated with the Ministry of Health in Muğla. This news deeply saddened us and inflicted great emotional pain.

“I pray to God to have mercy on our deceased personnel and offer my condolences to their families, colleagues and our entire healthcare community.”
