A 10-year-old boy is in recovery after being injured in a plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia. The boy was in a car with his father and siblings when the aircraft went down near Roosevelt Mall. He suffered head injuries from debris and underwent emergency surgery. Witnesses say an unknown man used his shirt to apply pressure to the boy's head. The boy was eventually transported to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and is expected to make a full recovery.
A 10-year-old boy’s parents said he is fighting hard in recovery after he was injured during Friday’s plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia.6 ABC it was difficult seeing her child hurt, adding, “But he’s good. He’s pushing through,” the outlet reported on Saturday, noting he was believed to be one of the first patients who was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital after the crash.
His father said, “My son who’s named after me, Andre Howard, tells his little sister, ‘Get down.’ And he grabs her I hear the glass shatter. I turn around, there’s a piece of metal sticking out of my son’s head from the plane.” A Mexican-registered Learjet 55, tail number XA-UCI, departed from Northeast Philadelphia Airport shortly after 6 p.m. on Friday. Approximately one minute later, the aircraft fell from about 1,600 feet and crashed on the streets of Philadelphia at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Bustleton Avenue near the Roosevelt Mall.
He wrote in a social media post, “So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged. First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to follow. God Bless you all.”
