Yves Seguy, the regional prefect, told broadcaster BFM the aircraft appeared to suffer damage before plunging vertically to the ground. The crash occurred in a built-up area near a shopping centre.

“Give or take a few meters, and the accident could have caused collateral casualties,” Seguy said.

The local prosecutor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
