Horrifying moment Italian airforce display jet plunges from sky

An Italian airforce display jet has crashed following a bird strike with the wreckage slamming into a car and killing a five-year-old girl.

Dramatic footage of the MB339 fighter plunging from the sky was caught by passers-by who had gathered to watch the Frecce Tricolore display near Turin.

The unit is the equivalent of the British Red Arrows and accident investigators are working on the theory the plane had a bird strike which caused it to lose height.
