Shoreham Airshow crash death toll 'could reach 20' | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The final death toll from the Shoreham air crash could rise to 20, Sussex Police say. | |
A Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 during an aerial display at the Shoreham Airshow on Saturday. | |
More bodies are expected to be recovered after the removal of the jet later. | |
Assistant Chief Constable of Sussex Police Steve Barry said: "It's too early to tell but I'd be surprised if [the death toll] doesn't go above 11." | |
He said there were cyclists and onlookers in the area at the time of the crash. | |
"If it would be below 20 then that would be probably the best estimate that I could give you at this stage," he said. | |
"It makes it very complicated to establish who was where and who we can actually confirm has been a victim of this crash." | |
A crane is due to be brought to the scene on the A27 in West Sussex to remove the plane's wreckage. | |
The Civil Aviation Authority said it was "committed to holding a review" into current safety guidelines surrounding air shows. |
