During a training flight at a military base near Turin, a plane from the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic demonstration team crashed, resulting in a tragic incident.

According to reports from the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the aircraft struck a car carrying a family of four during its descent outside the runway.

Tragically, a five-year-old girl lost her life due to burns, while her nine-year-old brother sustained injuries. 

La Repubblica reported that the young boy, along with his parents, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Additionally, the pilot was hospitalized after a video circulated by Italian media showed him ejecting at a low altitude.
