French Fighter, Ultralight Collide

Two Lost Aboard Ultralight

Two people were killed Monday when a French Mirage 2000 fighter collided with a single-engine ultralight over Clermont-Ferrand. Both fatalities were on board the ultralight.

A statement from the French Defense Ministry said the Mirage (file photo of type, above) was able to make an emergency landing at Clermont-Ferrand's airport. Both crew members on board were unhurt.

A second Mirage flying in formation with the first circled the accident site and radioed directions to rescuers.
