KUTTAWA, Ky. (AP) – The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to arrive at the site of a plane crash in Kentucky in which a 7-year-old girl survived and four of her family members were killed.
The NTSB was expected to brief the media at some point Sunday.
The pilot reported engine trouble on Friday night and then air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane. About 40 minutes later, 7-year-old Sailor Gutzler showed up at Larry Wilkins’ home, bloodied and whimpering.
Authorities say Sailor, dressed in a short-sleeve shirt, shorts and one sock, walked about a mile in near-freezing temperatures through thick briar patches and woods before she found Wilkins’ home.
She had a broken wrist and went to the hospital. She was later released to a relative from Nashville, Illinois.
