At least one person died when a light plane crashed into a family home in the northern German state of Lower Saxony on Saturday.
A police spokesman reported that one body was recovered from the plane in Ganderkesee, near Bremen. It was not initially known if anyone else was on board the plane when it crashed.
The fire department’s search operations were still ongoing at noon. Several media outlets previously reported on the incident.
The residents of the house were not at home when the plane crashed into the roof. The police did not provide more information about the cause of the incident.
Residents within 100 meters (330 feet) of the crash site were evacuated from their homes as a precaution. Police said there is no danger to the public. A large police force was deployed at the scene.
