A 7-year-old girl knocked on the door of a stranger’s Kentucky home Friday — and told the stunned man who answered that she had just survived a plane crash, according to nypost.
“She was bleeding pretty bad, her legs were bleeding, her face had a bloody nose. She was barefoot, only had one sock on,” Larry Wilkins, 71, told NBC News. “She told me that her mom and her dad were dead, and she was in a plane crash, and the plane was upside down,” he said. “She asked if she could stay here.”
Wilkins called the cops, and Kentucky State Police later confirmed that four people were killed when a small plane went down around 6:30 p.m. in rural Lyon County about 125 miles southwest of Louisville.
The distressed youngster, who was the sole survivor of the crash, managed to make her way out of the remote and rugged woods where the plane crashed to find help, said Sgt. Dean Patterson of the Kentucky State Police.
The plane was later found with four bodies inside in Lyon County, about 30 miles (50km) east of Paducah city. The Federal Aviation Administration said air traffic controllers lost contact with the Piper PA-34 aircraft after the pilot reported engine problems.
