One person has been killed when an aircraft slid on to a motorway after its brakes failed on landing in Britain this afternoon.
The privately-owned L39 jet failed to stop on the runway at Duxford and careered on to the normally busy M11 motorway, Cambridgeshire police say.
The jet did not hit any cars before coming to a stop. Cambridgeshire Ambulance Service says one person was killed.
Wreckage came to rest just yards from the M11 and police said a lorry driver was shaken but otherwise unharmed after his vehicle was hit by flying debris. The motorway was closed in both directions.
The plane, which was not part of a flying a display, came to rest lying across both carriageways, a police spokeswoman added.
A far as a spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire ambulance is aware no other passengers were in the plane.
A spokeswoman for Duxford Airfield says no members of the public had been involved in the incident. The airfield is at the site of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is investigating the accident.
