A SMALL airplane crashed in a busy business district in the United States during rush hour on Tuesday, killing a four-year-old boy and injuring the four other people onboard.
Bystanders raced to help those onboard the Cessna 206 after it clipped the roof of a motel near downtown Anchorage, Alaska, and crashed in front of an unoccupied former car lot office. No other injuries were reported.
"It was the citizens who did the work and pulled people out," police Lieutenant Dave Parker said.
Hunter Brosh, one of the passing motorists who helped get people out of the burning plane, said a girl was among those pulled out alive. She was later identified as 16-year-old Rachel Zientak. Also onboard were the pilot of the aircraft, 34-year-old Preston Cavner; his wife, 32-year-old Stacie Cavner; and their son, two-year-old Hudson, police said. Their son, Miles, 4, died.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it was too early to know what caused the accident.
