Pilot killed in crash explosion

An investigation is under way after the pilot of a light aircraft died when his plane burst into flames following an emergency landing.
The twin-engine Cessna crashed into a field just 300 yards north of the M180 motorway near the village of Sandtoft, west of S****horpe, North Lincolnshire.

The accident happened at 1920 BST on Monday moments after the aircraft had taken off from Sandtoft airfield.

Three fire crews attended the crash.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said the pilot, who has not yet been identified, was the sole occupant of the plane.
