Firefighters found the girl in the wreckage, alive but suffering from multiple fractures. No one was reported injured on the ground. The aircraft, a PRM1 twin-engined corporate jet, started having difficultly shortly after taking off from a small airport in the eastern town of Annemasse, about 5 km (3 miles) from Geneva, said officials. "It hit the roof of a first house before it crashed in the yard of a neighboring house," state official Pierre Molager told Reuters.
