Not less than five people have been reportedly dead after a tourist plane and a microlight aircraft collided in western part of France.
On Saturday, the small microlight carrying two people collided with a DA40 tourist plane with three people onboard around 4:30pm (1430 GMT) in Loches in the Indre-et-Loire department.
The local government official, Nadia Seghier said,
“The microlight landed on the fence around a house without harming anyone else, (the DA40) several hundred metres away in an uninhabited area,” Seghier said. “All five people involved died.”
“Around 50 firefighters were called out while 30 gendarmes set up road detours around the crash sites.”
“Air emergency staff from Lyon were brought in at first to track down the plane, which was quickly found.”
However, the identity of the victims has not yet revealed and also the causes of the collision. Police in Loches have taken over to investigate more.
