The French media have been reporting four on board with only minor injuries plus one uninjured. Hopefully they are correct.

That said, if anyone has been seriously injured I would expect it to be the pilot. That was quite some deceleration when the aircraft hit the berm, suggesting that it was pretty solid underneath. It wouldn't be surprising if he/she had hit their head on the coaming, notwithstanding their harness. Even worse would be the impact pushing the engine back through the firewall.
