A very lucky escape for the UK Independence Party's [UKIP] former leader Nigel Farage.
The UKIP party has been campaigning for a ban on the burqa in public buildings, around security concerns. And they also invited the Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders over from Holland to speak at the UK Parliament, when he was famously banned from entering the UK.
UKIP candidate Nigel Farage has had a miraculous escape after being pulled from the wrecked cockpit of a light aircraft on the morning of the General Election.
Mr Farage, who is contesting Speaker John Bercow's seat in Buckingham, was dragged from the smashed aircraft with his face covered in blood.
It is thought the small plane got into difficulty after getting tangled in a Vote UKIP banner it had been towing.
Mr Farage, an MEP and a former UKIP leader, was taken to Horton General Hospital in Banbury, Oxfordshire, but has since been transferred to the John Radcliffe Infirmary for checks on a possible chest injury.
The pilot of the aircraft was airlifted to a hospital in Coventry.
The plane had been due to fly over the counties of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
