At least one spectator was killed when a propeller-powered biplane ploughed into a crowd at an air show in southern Germany on Sunday, police said.

A police spokesman from the city of Nuremberg said the plane veered off the runway into the crowd when trying to take off. Another 20 people were injured, including five seriously.

There was no immediate word on the pilot's condition.
