The pilot, a man in his 40s, walked away uninjured from the damaged Piper PA-28 which landed on the A429 at Wellesbourne earlier.

Senior paramedic officer Martyn Scott said it was "more of a heavy landing" than a crash.

He added: "The pilot got up and walked away. There was not a mark on him. He was totally uninjured."
