Police say a 7-year-old girl survived a small-plane crash in Kentucky that killed her parents, sister and cousin. Linda So reports.
A 7-year-old girl miraculously survived a plane crash that killed four members of her family, managing to walk to a nearby residence to ask for help, police said.
About a half-hour after a small plane lost contact with air-traffic controllers Friday evening, a Lyon County, Ky., homeowner called 911 saying a young girl had found her way to his house, where she asked for help after being in a plane crash, according to Kentucky State Police. The girl was taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and released Saturday.
“This girl came out of the wreckage herself and found the closest residence and reported the plane crash,” said Sgt. Dean Patterson of the Kentucky State Police. “It’s a miracle in a sense that she survived it, but it’s tragic that four others didn’t.”
