Four people were feared dead after a private jet crashed on Friday at a car auction site while trying to land at an airport in Hampshire.

The light aircraft, which crashed during an attempt to land at Blackbushe Airport, burst into flames on impact, witnesses said. Four people are believed to have been on board at the time, including the pilot, but the number of injured is yet to be confirmed. British Car Auctions in Farnham said its Yateley warehouse was evacuated.

The airport said the Phenom 300 Jet crashed near the end of the runway while attempting to make a landing.
