British woman dies after rafting incident in French Alps

A British woman has died on a white-water rafting excursion in the French Alps.

The woman fell from her raft shortly after noon local time (11:00 BST) on Saturday on the Guisane river in Briançon, in south-eastern France, the regional prosecutor Marion Lozac'hmeur told French news agency AFP.

She was later found on the riverbank before being airlifted to a nearby hospital in a serious condition, firefighters told local media.

Lozac'hmeur said the victim "unfortunately died yesterday evening". The Foreign Office confirmed a British woman had died in France, and said it was in touch with the local authorities.
