A plane has just crashed at Shoreham air show, on a road right in front of my nephew, but he is ok thank god, near miss.
A Hawker Hunter fighter jet has reportedly crashed into several cars on the A27, resulting in several casualties.
BBC South East reporter Chrissie Reidy tweeted that the plane hit two cars on the A27 north of Shoreham airport.
Early reports suggested there were several casualties.
Airshow officials confirmed there had been “a major incident outside the airfield boundary”, tweeting that emergency services are responding.
Eyewitness Stephen Jones said the plane did a loop but did not make it and crashed on, or very close to, the A27.
