WATCH: 7 killed in UK air show plane crash
The pilot of a military jet is fighting for his life in hospital after his aircraft crashed when it plunged into a busy road at a British airshow.
The military jet failed to pull up out of a loop and hit several cars on Saturday creating a fireball that sent thick, black smoke billowing into the sky.
Reports say the pilot was pulled from the wreckage while fourteen others sustained minor injuries.
Footage of the crash showing the jet attempting to perform a loop manoeuvre high in the air has been released.
The plane is seen hitting the ground after failing to complete the loop in time.
See footage of the plane crash below.
Police have cordoned off the four-lane dual carriageway road, with ambulances, fire crews and emergency service helicopters in attendance.
The UK Prime Minister David Cameron has sent his condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
