A US Navy jet has crashed during an airshow in Beaufort, South Carolina, killing the pilot and plunging into a neighbourhood of small homes and trailers. At least one home was set on fire.

Raymond Voegeli was backing out of a driveway when the plane ripped through a grove of trees, dousing his truck in flames and debris. He said wreckage hit "plenty of houses and mobile homes".

"It was just a big fireball coming at me," said Voegeli, 37.

County Coroner Curt Copeland said the pilot was killed, but did not release a name. Copeland described the scene as horrific.
