A sevenyearold girl survived when a small plane in which she was flying with her family crashed (碰撞) in the Kentucky woods, killing her parents, an elder sister and a teenage cousin, police said on Saturday.
The surviving daughter, was able to walk to a nearby home to seek help, police said. She was then taken to an area hospital and treated for minor injuries, before being taking away by a family member early this morning, said Kentucky State Police spokesman Dean Patterson.
“When you have a small plane crash in a wooded area it is going to cause significant damage,” said Patterson. “It is amazing to me that the smallest person in that aircraft was the one that survived.”
An area homeowner, Larry Wilkins, told CNN that the girl was crying and bloodied when she showed up at his door, nearly a mile from the crash site, and told him her parents were dead. “She's a terribly brave little girl,” Wilkins said.
The family had spent the New Year's holiday in Florida, visiting a son who lives there, and was returning home when the plane went down.
The Gutzlers were partowners of a familyowned furniture store that has served the southern Illinois community of Nashville for five decades. Employees and customers alike were in mourning,_said family friend and store employee Troy Dunbar.
“This whole community is heartbroken,” he said.
Dunbar said he had been told the girl had suffered a broken arm in the crash.
“She was so attached to her dad,” he said. “He would bring her into the store a lot and she was never out of his sight.”
