A pilot is in hospital with several injuries after a plane crashed into a block of flats, police say. The incident happened in Upper Heyford, near Bicester, Oxon., at around 12pm on Saturday.
Although the village is home to an RAF base, it is not thought a military plane is involved, reports the BBC. The block of flats was empty and no one else was hurt, Thames Valley Police said in a statement.
The force said: "The light aircraft crashed into an unoccupied block of flats near Camp Road in Upper Heyford at about midday today. The pilot has suffered several injuries and has been taken to hospital. No-one else has been injured as a result of the incident.
"Thames Valley Police has put a small cordon in place at the scene, however at this time no local residents need to be evacuated. We would urge anyone with any footage or information to contact the force by calling 101, quoting reference 857."
The pilot managed to eject from the plane before it crashed into the building, police say. A local who claims to have seen the incident described it on social media as "absolutely terrifying".
