Three dead in small plane crash in France

A small plane has crashed in France, killing three people. The crash occurred just a few minutes after the tourist flight took off, according to the Chartres public prosecutor's office. A couple of pensioners were on board the plane alongside the 77-year-old, experienced pilot. All three died when the plane crashed in Champhol in central France in the afternoon. The plane hit a small wall and a car, but there was no information about injuries on the ground. The judiciary opened an investigation into involuntary manslaughter.
