Four people were killed in an accident when AS350 B2 Squirrel F-ZBFR (c/no. 2100) crashed at Massif Malaterre, Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. It would seem that the rotor of this helicopter of the French Government Civil Security struck the massif, killing all four on board, during the recovery of equipment left on the mountain.
