One of the Hawker Hunter planes performing stunts at the Shoreham Airshow in West Sussex has crashed into several vehicles during the performance. According to Sussex Police, the incident has resulted in several casualties but it cannot provide more details right now. The plane crashed into vehicles on the nearby A27 road, which is expected to remain closed for several hours.
One of the eyewitnesses present at the airshow, Stephen Jones, confirmed that the plane was performing a loop but it failed to complete the maneuver as it crashed on the ground. He explained that “the aeroplane involved is a Hawker Hunter T mark 7. And he’d just begun his flying display,” adding that “he’d gone up into a loop and as he was coming out of the loop I just thought, you’re too low, you’re too low, pull up.” Jones stated that “he flew straight into the ground either on or very close to the A27, which runs past the airport.”
The official twitter account of Shoreham Airshow confirmed in a tweet that “there has been a major incident outside the airfield boundary,” adding that “the emergency services are responding. Updates will follow when available.” Whereas on the other hand, police also reaffirmed that “at about 1.20pm the aircraft hit several cars on the A27 just to the north of Shoreham Airport, where an air display is taking place.” It said that “the aircraft ended up in a bush. There have been several casualties but we have no further information on these at the moment.”
