From the BBC:



A light aircraft has crashed into a holiday park, emergency services have said.

Police were called at 14.23 BST to a report that a light aircraft had crashed in Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, near Bembridge, on the Isle of Wight.

The plane had two people on board, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said.

The fire service said two people suffered minor injuries in the incident. Firefighters from Newport and Ryde were dispatched shortly before 14:30.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said crews found the aircraft "had suffered extensive damage from the impact and subsequent fire". It said: "All occupants had safely exited the aircraft before emergency services arrived. Two individuals sustained minor injuries and were treated by paramedics at the scene."

An ambulance plane attended and no patients were taken to hospital, Isle of Wight NHS Trust confirmed.

Hampshire police said the holiday park remained open and no roads had been closed.
