Lyon - A small passenger jet crashed in a residential
area in the French Alps shortly after takeoff on Monday, killing two people on
board and severely injuring a young girl passenger, a local official said.
Fire-fighters found the girl in the wreckage, alive but
suffering from multiple fractures.
No one was reported injured on the ground.
The aircraft, a PRM1 twin-engined corporate jet, started
having difficultly shortly after taking off from a small airport in the eastern
town of Annemasse, about 5km from Geneva, said officials.
"It hit the roof of a first house before it crashed
in the yard of a neighbouring house," state official Pierre Molager told
Reuters.
