A translation from this mornings French press...

"The small ULM crashed rue Aristide Briand, (less than two kilometers from downtown Loches, editor's note) and the tourist plane in the Haut Jarry sector, a little on the outskirts of the town, not far of the water tower, ”she said.

According to Tours public prosecutor Grégoire Dulin, "two bodies were found in the ULM and two others on the plane". "A person who would have fallen, probably from the plane, was not found," he added, adding that the plane had crashed into a tree in a place difficult to access.

"The pilot of the plane is 75 years old, his two passengers 28 and 30 years old. The pilot of the ULM is 66 years old and his passenger 50 years old", specified Mr. Dulin, adding that there was " no family relationship "between these people."

This corresponds to witness reports of someone falling from one of aircraft.
