A private light plane has crashed in a steep region of the Neuch\u00e2tel mountains. The crash happened “in a wooded area, in a part that is difficult to access,” according to the police spokesperson. The difficult terrain meant that rescue services and the police initially struggled to access the wreckage.<\/p>\n

Rescuers were eventually able to reach the wreckage, but confirmed that “several people” had died in the crash.<\/p>\n

The plane crash near the village of Ponts-de-Martel happened around 10:20 am.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear what led to the tragic crash.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast for the day called for heavy skies but no particularly strong winds in the region.<\/p>\n

An investigation into the crash has been opened by the public health ministry to determine the circumstances.<\/p>\n

Police have cordoned off the area.<\/p>\n

The exact type of aircraft that crashed and the number of occupants remains unknown.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson said: “We must notify the families of the victims first.”<\/p>\n

The police have also not confirmed the aircraft’s departure point or destination.<\/p>\n

This comes just hours before an F-18 fighter jet crashed at the Zaragoza airbase in Spain, erupting into a giant fireball near a busy highway.<\/p>\n

The pilot flying the plane managed to eject before the disaster and is thought to be safe.<\/p>\n

The local Heraldo de Arag\u00f3n said that the pilot suffered injuries to his leg while no other injuries have been reported following the crash.<\/p>\n

Chilling footage of the crash shows the F-18 nosedive toward the ground near a dense urban area.<\/p>\n

The jet smashed into the ground before a giant fireball can be seen across the city.<\/p>\n

Footage showing a huge plume of smoke billowing into the sky quickly spread on social media.<\/p>\n

The Civil Guard claimed the pilot suffered “some problem” and lost control of the plane.<\/p>\n
