The fireball on the ground
Eleven people are likely to be confirmed dead after of the worst air show disasters in British history.
Drivers were among those caught up in the inferno when a vintage jet plummeted on to the A27 in West Sussex after failing to pull out of a stunt on Saturday.
The 1950S Hawker Hunter jet had just performed a loop-the-loop at the Shoreham Airshow.
The driver of a 4×4 BMW, who was not named, told The Sun newspaper that he was the last person to escape the fireball.
He said: “I was driving along when I heard a deafening bang. Something went through the rear windscreen of my car, causing it all to cave in.
“I then had flames engulfing the vehicle. I was panicking and frightened because I thought the car was going to blow up.
“My immediate thoughts were, ‘What the hell is going on? Get the hell out of here’, so I jumped out and rolled over.”
Just four of the victims have been named so far and a further two are still missing, feared dead. The pilot is understood to have survived.
After fears the death toll could be as high as 20, police now believe the figure will remain at the 11 people they confirmed at the weekend.
The unnamed driver told The Sun that he was immediately behind limousine driver Maurice Abrahams, 76, who was on his way to pick up a bride for a wedding. Mr Abrahams was killed in the incident.
Worthing United footballers and best friends Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both aged 23, also perished, alongside 24-year-old personal trainer Matt Jones.
The A27 remains closed in both directions as the wreckage and bodies are removed, with efforts hampered by heavy rain in the area. Highways England said it was unable to confirm when it would be reopened.
