Pilot and three passengers are killed after Saudi private jet crashes into a car dealership near Hampshire airport after overshooting the runway as it tried to land.

The small private jet overshot the runway at Blackbushe Airport on the Hampshire-Surrey border, before ploughing into the neighbouring car auction site, destroying at least 15 cars, Dailymail said on its website.

The aircraft, a £7million Brazilian-built Embraer Phenom 300 was completely destroyed in the crash, leaving behind a fireball and large plume of toxic black smoke.
