Aw, cripes.
This morning updates:
All six people on board a medical plane that went down in Northeast Philadelphia on Friday , including a child and her mother, were killed in the fiery crash.
The Learjet 55 crashed near the Roosevelt Mall around 6:10 p.m. after departing from Northeast Philadelphia Airport with a final destination in Mexico, according to authorities.
Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, confirmed the deaths in a social media post, saying all six people were Mexican nationals.
Multiple injuries to people on the ground have also been reported after the resulting explosion left a large field of debris, damage to buildings, and burned-out cars. The exact number of the injured is not yet available, officials said.
Temple University Hospital said Saturday morning that six patients were treated and released from the Jeanes Campus. One person is hospitalized at Main Campus and is listed in fair condition.
