London, Aug 22 (IBNS): At least seven people were killed as a Hawker Hunter jet crashed into several vehicles during Shoreham Airshow at Sussex in southeast England on Saturday, media reports said.

At least 14 people were reportedly injured in the mishap.

According to reports, all the seven people died at the scene of the crash.

Stephen Jones, who saw the crash, was quoted as saying by BBC: "The aeroplane involved is a Hawker Hunter T mark 7. And he'd just begun his flying display."

"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 said.

"And he flew straight into the ground either on or very close to the A27, which runs past the airport," the witness said.
