Kentucky Friday night that killed four others.
The small Piper PA-34 reported engine trouble and lost contact with
air traffic controllers as it was flying over the southwestern part of
Kentucky about 5:55 p.m. CST, the FAA said.
About a half hour later, a Lyon County resident called 911 and told
dispatchers that a 7-year-old girl had walked to his home and said she
had been involved in a plane crash, said Sgt. Dean Patterson of the
Kentucky State Police.
This girl came out of the wreckage herself and found the closest
residence and reported the plane crash,"Patterson said."It's a miracle
in a sense that she survived it, but it's tragic that four others
didn't."
The girl was in emotional distress and taken to a hospital with
non-life-threatening injuries, Patterson said. At that point,
authorities launched a search for the crash site and also confirmed
with the FAA that they had received a distress call.
