1 killed as planes collide

At least one person died when two small planes collided in the air and crashed at an airshow in northern Switzerland yesterday, police said.

The two planes were part of a formation of three and they crashed just before 11:30am after they touched each other in the air, according to Meinrad Stoecklin, a spokesman for police in Basel-Landschaft.

The airshow in the village of Dittingen near Basel was temporarily interrupted as rescue teams raced to the scene, police said.

It was not immediately clear if there were more people injured in the accident.
