Plane crashes at CarFest in Cheshire
(FRANKS..) A plane that was part of a display team has crashed at the CarFest motoring event in Cheshire.
Emergency services are at the scene in Oulton Park. The crash happened just after 14:00 BST.
BBC producer Justin Bones, who is at the scene, said two planes performed a low-level, close-proximity pass just before the crash.
One of the aircraft failed to pull up and crashed north of the circuit, he said.
Mr Bones said he did not see an ejector seat deploy from the aircraft, nor a parachute, and the plane possibly landed in a wood.
The identification of the pilot is not yet known. No injuries have been confirmed.
Police said they were attending an incident at Oulton Park.
BBC presenter Chris Evans who was the founder of CarFest, which raises money for BBC Children in Need, has tweeted about the crash.
He said: "I am very sad to announce there has been a serious air incident at CarFest North off site. The emergency services are in attendance."
Adam Ignatowicz is attending the event and witnessed the crash. "I was at the shop. There were two planes flying around. One of them just seemed to do a dive where the car park is. Then there was a bang.
"There were emergency services running through. Air Ambulance is there now. Everyone's questioning what's happening. Everyone realised what had happened. The other plane went straight over to see what was happening."
Other celebrities including TV chefs James Martin, Tom Kerridge and Paul Hollywood were due to attend the event.
CarFest is a motoring and music festival. Live music at the event was scheduled from acts including Primal Scream and Joss Stone.
A vintage village, a fairground and a beach were also among the attractions.
- As the Supreme Court gets ready to issue opinions on some high profile and contentious cases, a new national poll indicates Americans are split on whether the high court is doing a good job. According to a CNN/ORC International survey released Thursday morning, 48% of the public say they approve of the job the Supreme Court's doing, with an equal amount saying they disapprove. There is, however, an ideological divide. Fifty-three percent of liberals and 58% of moderates, but only 37% of conservatives, say that they approve of the court. "That's probably a reaction to last year's decision on Barack Obama's health care law," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. In a closely watched ruling, the court upheld the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, last June. "Before that ruling, most conservatives supported the Supreme Court, compared to only 44% of liberals. Now, most liberals approve of the court, with most co...
(Franks.) With a name that sounds like it has come from the pages of a superhero comic book, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) is the latest militant group to emerge in Nigeria – attacking oil installations in a campaign which threatens the economy of Africa’s most populous state. “We are a group of educated and well-travelled individuals that are poised to take the Niger Delta struggle to new heights that has never been seen in this nation before,” the NDA proclaimed in one of their first statement’s on their website in April. “We have well-equipped human resources to meet this goal.” It was not an idle threat. The NDA has carried out a barrage of attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta region, causing a huge decline in oil production, which is the mainstay of the West African state’s economy. “The renewed activities of the militants in the Niger Delta are seriously affecting our oil production,” Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun admitted on state-owned NTA tele...
About 250 students of the Federal Government Girls’ College in Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State, have been infected with an outbreak of a disease suspected to be cholera. Although some of the students affected were treated and discharged, a good number were still undergoing treatment in the hospital. There were reports that parents had started rushing to retrieve their wards from the school as news of the epidemic became widespread on Thursday. PREMIUM TIMES learnt that signs were noticed on October 10, when some students showed symptoms of the infection. Although the school principal, Grace Ogunyomi, reported the matter to the state government, no immediate action beyond the routine medical attention was provided. It was gathered that the students were infected in small numbers, but the matter escalated on Wednesday, resulting in government action, after the principal, Mrs. Ogunyomi, made a formal report. Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, imm...
