Two British nationals were among three people killed after a light aircraft crashed in the Swiss Alps, authorities have said.
The aircraft had taken off from the Rhône Valley before striking a mountain slope about 10 minutes later. All three people involved in the crash were killed.
Authorities said the incident involved a light aircraft, but further details about the passengers, the aircraft, or the precise crash location were not included in the information available.
The crash adds to the risks faced by small aircraft operating in mountainous terrain, where routes can involve steep slopes and rapidly changing conditions. However, no cause for the collision has been stated.
The latest confirmed position is that three people died in the crash, including two Britons, after the aircraft collided with the mountain slope shortly after departure from the Rhône Valley.
