BBC News:

A small twin-engine plane has been forced to make an emergency landing in a southern Paris suburb.

The three people on board were taken to hospital requiring urgent attention, but their injuries were not considered life-threatening, officials said.

No-one else was injured in the incident.

The aircraft landed in a residential area in Villejuif after an engine failure, according to France’s Transport Minister, Clément Beaune.

The three people on board were a flying instructor in his 80s and two passengers in their late 20s, according to local media reports.

The plane began its emergency landing on a road before crashing against the wall of an apartment building.

It eventually came to a halt in the garden at the back of the apartment building, with parts of the plane strewn over the roof of a nearby garage, and the fuselage crushed under the impact.

The tail of the aircraft was detached from the rest of the plane and the wings were largely torn off.
