Rescuers are now searching for four people in icy Norwegian waters after the helicopter they were flying in crashed.



Officials say the civilian helicopter crashed in the Oslo fjord, just offshore from Horten, a town an hour south of Oslo.



It’s unclear what caused the crash.



However, foggy weather is said to have had shrouded the area making the search difficult.



Rescue centre spokesman, Einar Knudsen, says the Robinson-44 helicopter, one of two flying down the fjord towards Oslo after an afternoon flight, was owned by Midtnorsk Helicopter Service.
