At least seven people died when a medevac plane crashed in Philadelphia, including six Mexicans aboard the plane and one person who was on the ground, Mexico’s president and Philadelphia’s mayor said yesterday. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker told a Press conference that the person who died on the ground had been in a car at the site of the crash.
“Thus far, our count is that there are 19 injured victims,” Parker said.
Separately, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in a post on X that she had asked consular officials to support the families of the six Mexican citizens who were on the plane and died when it crashed.
Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, based in Mexico and licensed to operate in the US, said its aircraft crashed early yesterday with four crew members, one paediatric medical patient and the patient’s mother on board.
