A medical plane carrying a 12-year-old patient, her mother and four crew members crashed in a Philadelphia neighborhood about 30 seconds after takeoff, bursting into flames.
The plane crash occurred after 6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2025, near the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue.
Meanwhile, the number of victims remains unclear at the moment because the place where the incident occurred is a populated area.
So far, the 12-year-old patient has been confirmed dead, while the number of victims is expected to increase by the minute.
Local media reports that at the time of the plane crash, six people were injured, including those who were on the road when the plane crashed in a residential area. The injured were hospitalized.
