Police say the pilot of a small propeller-driven plane lost control of his aircraft while taking off at a flight show in southern Germany and crashed into a group of spectators, leaving one person dead and several injured.
A spokesman said on Sunday that police had not yet established how many people were injured in the crash, at the Lilinghof airfield near the Bavarian town of Lauf.
He could not say how serious the injuries were as the rescue effort was still ongoing.
The spokesman, who declined to be named in line with department policy, said it was still unknown why the pilot of the biplane - with two wings, one above the other - lost control.
