Seven people, including six employees of an amusement park, were killed when a helicopter crashed in a rural area of eastern France last night, local authorities said.
The accident happened near the small town of Bregnier-Cordon, where people playing bowls alerted authorities after seeing the helicopter go down.
"For the moment, there is no explanation, no one can say whether it was a technical issue or to do with the pilot," Albert Dupuy, a regional official told France Info radio.
