Two private tourist planes collided at the French-Italian border on Wednesday.
The incident happened in the skies above Larche and Batterie de Viraysse, in France’s Haute-Savoie region, on the border with the province of Cuneo.
French media said two British tourists aged 18 and 37 were killed and there is a third passenger who was injured.
The two planes took off from an airfield at Saint-Pons in France.
Road traffic at the Colle della Maddalena in the Stura Valley was blocked by Carabinieri to ease search and rescue operations.
