A Germanwings Airbus A320 with 148 people on board crashed Tuesday over southern France, Fox News Channel reported.

According to the Fox report, French President Francois Hollande indicated there were likely no survivors. It was not immediately clear whether anyone on the ground was killed.

The plane, with 142 passengers and six crew members, was traveling from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, Germany. The crash site, in the French Alps, was approximately half way between Barcelona and Dusseldorf.

“The conditions of the accident are not yet clear but lead us to believe there will be no survivors,” CNN quoted Hollande as saying.
