Tisa Kilby, 55, was out walking her dogs when she witnessed the incident.

“I glanced up and literally saw this man fall out of this jet and thought, that’s an unusual spot to be parachuting,” she explained.

“Within four or five seconds, the jet nosedived and slammed into the apartment building.”

She went on to say that she was told at the scene by police that the man had received life-changing injuries.

The apartments were unoccupied, according to Thames Valley Police, and no one else was injured.

“The light aircraft crashed into an uninhabited block of apartments on Camp Road in Upper Heyford at approximately lunchtime today,” police said in a statement.
