Tourist Plane Crashes French Alps Near Chambéry Airport Killing Three

News summary

A tourist plane crashed nose-first near Chambéry Airport in Voglans, French Alps, killing three people—two women and one man—on Tuesday morning. Surveillance footage and witness reports showed the aircraft drifting sideways for several minutes over the Leysse River before its rapid descent, which caused debris to scatter upon impact, though no fire ensued. Emergency services, including firefighters, medical teams, and law enforcement, responded to the scene, and a judicial investigation has been launched to determine the crash's cause, which remains unknown. The plane, a Robin DR-400 belonging to the Chambéry flying club, crashed near but did not hit any residential buildings, although a fence was damaged. This incident follows a recent fatal crash in the Austrian Alps involving a small propeller plane from Germany, underscoring concerns about small aircraft safety in the Alpine region. Officials expressed condolences to the victims’ families and mobilized psychological support for relatives and witnesses.
