A political candidate for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) has been injured in a plane crash . Nigel Farage, the former leader of the party, was in a two-seater plane when it crashed at an airfield in Northamptonshire. The plane crashed just one hour after voting had opened on polling day. Farage, 46, was taken to a Banbury hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The pilot of the plane is believed to have suffered more severe injuries and was transferred to a different hospital. The plane had landed at the airfield in Hinton-in-the-Hedges and was beginning to take off again when the accident happened. The plane was being flown with a UKIP banner and was due to fly over Buckinghamshire , the constituency where Farage is standing. Chris Adams, a fellow UKIP candidate for the constituency of Aylesbury , released a statement on the condition of Farage. He said "Nigel was unconscious but he can talk. He's been coming in and out of consciousness and is now being X-rayed."
