Ukrainian, French teen killed in avalanche
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA 14-year-old schoolboy and a Ukrainian man are killed on Wednesday when an avalanche sweeps away skiers in the French Alps, including a group of school children, local officials say.
The avalanche hits a trail at the Deux-Alpes resort in eastern France that was still closed to the public, engulfing a group of nine French school children and their teacher, according to police sources.
One of them is killed, three are seriously injured — including the teacher — and five children were still missing. Another escaped unhurt.
A Ukrainian man who was not part of the group was also killed, police say.
