A plane used for parachute training crashed near the city of Nancy in northeastern France, killing 11 people.
Meurthe-et-Moselle Prefect Yves Séguy said the victims included five instructors, five trainees and the pilot. The trainees were reported to be a group of independent nurses.
Authorities reported that the Pilatus-type aircraft crashed near a runway in a residential area close to two main roads after taking off from Nancy-Essey Airport.
Officials in the neighboring town of Tomblaine said the plane crashed into a residential area near a shopping center, emergency teams responded immediately, and a medical and psychological support unit was set up for the victims' families and witnesses.
A regional official said the plane is believed to have experienced a malfunction before the crash. The official stated, "The accident occurred very close to residential areas. It could have caused additional casualties by just a few meters."
