A Cessna crashed on the A4 motorway in Seine-et-Marne on Sunday, June 30. The three people on board died, but no other vehicles were affected.
The tragedy occurred at 3:45 p.m. in the town of Noisiel, in Seine-et-Marne. This Sunday, June 30, three people died in the accident of their tourist plane. The aircraft – a four-seater Cessna 172 – crashed on the A4 motorway, without hitting any vehicles, we learned from a police source and the gendarmerie.
The device “had just taken off from Lognes aerodrome and died”said the prosecutor of Meaux. The victims are “two men and a woman”, he added, specifying that “the pilot was born in 1989.” The accident appears to have occurred after the Cessna aircraft came into contact with a high-voltage line, the police added.
The A4 motorway, located in the east of the Paris region, was blocked in both directions of traffic, but no vehicles were affected in the accident.
The Air Transport Gendarmerie was put in charge of the investigation. The Bureau of Investigation and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) has also opened an administrative investigation, indicated the Meaux public prosecutor’s office.
