A jet aircraft ploughed into several cars on a busy road near an airshow in southern England on Saturday, August 22, killing at least seven people.

The vintage Hawker Hunter fighter jet crashed onto the A27 road, close to an airport in Shoreham where the airshow was taking place, near the south coast city of Brighton.

All those who died were on the road at the time of the crash, police said, adding that it was possible more bodies might be found overnight and on Sunday. The pilot is in a serious condition in the hospital.
