Forced landed in a field, very close to the A4 motorway, it has been a "lucky accident". 150 metres further would have landed the aircraft on the motorway itself.
Pilot survived, only a few broken bones, and even managed to call the emergency services himself with his cell phone. Pilot was airlifted to hospital for treatment; later named as Jerome Aldighieri, a retired metalworker, aged 68.
Cause of crash was possibly a stall problem
