A Piper PA-31 crashed less than 5 km from the Limoges-Bellegarde Airport in France. Both occupants of the aircraft were seriously injured. The aircraft had left Limoges at 10:30, to carry out mapping work. The flight was originally scheduled to last four hours.
The pilot reportedly attempted an emergency landing due to a fuel shortage. The plane then struck the treetops lining the field.
