The accident occurred at the end of Sunday afternoon, at the Moëres aerodrome, near Dunkirk, in the North. Four friends were trying to land aboard their private plane when the machine went off the runway, reports the Voix du Nord.

The "Piper" finally came to a stop in the nearby tall grass. Without any of its passengers being seriously injured. All slightly affected, the pilot and his three passengers were transported to the Dunkirk hospital center.

The passenger compartment of this "very solid" American brand aircraft would have saved the crew, according to the president of the local flying club, Philippe Loridan, quoted by the regional daily.
