Two people died and a third was seriously injured when an inflatable boat ride crashed in the south of France after the driver fell out of the vessel. The pilot's fall left the boat out of control, causing it to spin and collide with passengers who were being towed behind it, according to reports of the incident.

Emergency services responded to the scene following the crash, which occurred during what should have been a routine leisure activity on the water. The exact location, the identities of the victims, and the circumstances that led to the pilot losing control have not been detailed, and investigations into the cause of the accident are expected to follow.
