I can't imagine what this family is going through, as apparently they were trying to rescue the poor child from the car but their efforts were in vain.
May she rest in peace.
Her brother and parents suffered non life-threatening injuries, although the brother appears to be in more serious conditions.
The pilot ejected but suffered burns (condition unknown).
At Torino Caselle Airport (TRN), all operations are suspended at least until midnight.
The aircraft (callsign Pony 4) became "uncontrollable" after a possible bird strike upon takeoff.
The "Frecce Tricolori" team was directed to the city of Vercelli, where it was scheduled to perform a flyover, which was promptly cancelled.
An aerobatic display scheduled in Torino for tomorrow afternoon in occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Italian Air Force was also cancelled.
