7 dead and 14 injured as fighter plane crashes onto busy A27

There were at least seven dead  and 14 injured at the  Shoreham Airshow  West Sussex, after a vintage Hawker Hunter  fighter jet  taking part in the show crashed  on to the busy  A27.  Roads packed with cars and  onlookers watched the explosion after the crash with horror. The pilot Andy Hill who could not eject, was pulled from the wreckage and  miraculously escaped death, but is fighting for his life,  in the local hospital.

The  Hawker Hunter crashed on to several cars as it hit the ground on the dual carriageway. A limousine on its way to pick up a bride was amongst the vehicles hit.

The rest of the Shoreham Airshow has been cancelled.
