Three people were killed on Sunday when their light aircraft crashed onto a motorway east of Paris, the police and gendarmerie said.
No car was hit in the crash of the plane onto the A4 motorway in Noisiel east of Paris which appeared to have been caused by the aircraft hitting an electric power cable, said a police source, asking not to be named, adding that the road had been blocked in both directions.
The crash reportedly occurred around 4pm on Sunday, according to regional news outlet Ouest France, with both lanes of the motorway expected to remain closed until at least 7pm.
