Five people have died after two small planes crashed mid-air in western France.
Authorities said the crash happened between two light aircrafts in Loches near the city of Tours at about 4.30pm on Saturday.
Emergency crews, including 50 firefighters rushed to the scene where they cordoned off the crash sites.
The smaller plane, a microlight, had two passengers on board when it crashed with another plane, a Diamond DA40, which had three tourists on board.
A witness told AFP news agency the microlight burst into flames when it landed on a house's electricity meter.
The larger plane landed more than a 328ft away in an uninhabited area.
No one on the ground was wounded by the crash.
Local government official Nadia Seghier told AFP: "All five people involved died.
"Air emergency staff from Lyon were brought in at first to track down the plane, which was quickly found."
Loches mayor Marc Angenault said: "There's never any air traffic around Loches, it's an unlikely and unbelievable accident."
