Transport Canada released more details Tuesday about the helicopter crash that killed CTV cameraman Hugh Haugland and pilot Roger Belanger.

Haugland was shooting aerial footage of the aftermath of a tornado in the Laurentians last week.

Transport Canada now says the chopper's engine caught fire just before the crash, and that witnesses reported seeing flames shooting out of the chopper's engine as it approached the airport in Mont Laurier.

The helicopter snagged a cable on Highway 117, then made a hard landing on the road and flipped over into a ditch. The chopper caught fire, killing both occupants.

A final report on the crash might not be released for several months, said Transport Canada.

A funeral for pilot Roger Belanger will be held Saturday morning in Mont Laurier.
