Tragedy struck on Sunday when a light aircraft plummeted onto the A4 motorway east of Paris, resulting in the loss of three lives. According to authorities, the plane struck an electric power cable before crashing, causing the road to be blocked in both directions.
No vehicles were hit during the incident. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to save the passengers aboard the ill-fated aircraft.
The crash occurred near the French town of Collegien in the Ile-de-France region. A police source, who requested anonymity, confirmed that the aircraft belonged to the Lognes-Emerainville aéroflight flying club. Remarkably, this is the second such incident involving the same plane in the past year.
