'7-year-old US girl survives Fatal Kentucky Plane Crash' by ChynoBEATS: 2:43pm On Jan 03, 2015
A disoriented seven-year-old US girl has
walked to a home in the US state of
Kentucky to report that her plane had
crashed, police say.



The plane was later found with four bodies
inside in Lyon County, about 30 miles (50km)
east of Paducah city.

US TV news network NBC said the girl told the
man who answered the door to her that her
parents died in the crash.

The identity of the girl has not been released
and police have not commented on her
relationship with the victims.

The Federal Aviation Administration said air
traffic controllers lost contact with the Piper
PA-34 aircraft after the pilot reported engine
problems.

About 30 minutes after the plane lost contact, a
resident of Lyon County called police to say the
girl had walked to his home to report the crash.

'Brave little girl'

Larry Wilkins, 71, told NBC when he answered
his door on Friday night there was a "little girl"
standing there barefooted who was "bleeding
pretty badly".

"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. I got a wash
cloth and cleaned her up. And of course called
911," he added. "I felt so sorry for her, tears
come to my eyes. Brave little girl."
Kentucky State Police said those killed in the
crash were Marty Gutzler, 49, and Kimberly
Gutzler, 45, their 9-year-old daughter, Piper
Gutzler, and Piper's 14-year-old cousin, Sierra
Walder.

"This girl came out of the wreckage herself and
found the closest residence and reported the
plane crash," Kentucky police Sgt Dean
Patterson told reporters.

"It's a miracle in a sense that she survived it,
but it's tragic that four others didn't," he added.
He said the plane had been heading for Illinois
from Florida and had crashed in a wooded area
near a lake.

The girl is reported to be in hospital receiving
treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
