At least four dead in avalanche accident in France

At least four people have been killed in an avalanche in France’s Massif Central. According to French media, three others were injured and two others are missing. The accident took place on Sunday afternoon in Val d’Enfer, in the Massif Sancy in the Auvergne near the Mont Dore ski area, which is located at an altitude of between 1200 and 1846 meters. According to information from the regional newspaper “Midi Libre”, the people had an accident while skiing.

The reason for the avalanche could be the rain that had put pressure on the snow cover that had formed in the hours before, the newspaper wrote, citing a specialist. Bad weather conditions made the search for the missing people difficult on Sunday. Avalanches in the Massif Central are quite rare. (sda/dpa)
