The small plane crashed at 3.45pm on Sunday, after colliding with a high-voltage power line

The crash of a passenger plane on the A4 motorway in Seine-et-Marne left three people dead on the afternoon of Sunday 30 June, according to the gendarmerie. The accident occurred at 3.45pm, when the small plane hit a high-voltage power line before crashing into the central reservation of the motorway, between the lanes, without hitting any vehicles.

“The three occupants of the plane, which had just taken off from Lognes airfield, died”, Meaux prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier told AFP. The victims were “two men and a woman”, he added. The pilot of the aircraft, a Cesna 172, had held a pilot’s licence since 2023 and had around 100 hours’ flying time.

The Gendarmerie des Transports Aériens has been put in charge of the investigation, while the Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la Sécurité de l’Aviation Civile (BEA) has opened an administrative enquiry, according to the Meaux public prosecutor’s office.
