Four die in UK jet crash

A pilot and three passengers have died after a small private jet crashed into a car auction as it was trying to land.

A blaze broke out at the auction site based at Blackbushe Airport, United Kingdom, at 3.09pm when the Phenom 300 plane ploughed into a full car park.


All four people on board the plane were killed, said Inspector Olga Venner from Hampshire Police. She added that the airfield has been closed.

Sky News footage showed the aftermath of the crash near the end of the runway and debris from the jet could be seen strewn among the dozens of severely damaged cars.
