For an unknown reason the time, the twin-engine crashed into the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Bressieux, close to the airport, a few minutes after takeoff.

The paper has the aircraft type down as a CASA C-295, one would think a military-transport type turboprop an unusual aircraft type for a family?

Err, I think the C-295 is being mentioned in the context of an accident in the area last year.

That was the crash in November in Lozere. Nothing in the article, that it was the same aircraft type here.

One blog is suggesting the aircraft is a Piper Seneca.
