A man has been charged with manslaughter of a five-year-old British girl killed in a collision while learning to ski in the French Alps.    

The 40-year-old suspect, who has not been identified, has been in custody since Saturday in Bonnevile, eastern France.

It was then that witnesses watched him skiing ‘at high speed’ over ‘a slight bump’ and then colliding with the little child, who has been named locally only as Ophélie.

She was taking a lesson on a Blue beginners’ slope in the resort of Flaine, in France’s eastern Haute-Savoie department.

‘The skier involved in the death has been indicted for manslaughter,’ said an investigating source.
