A young girl who was one of 130 passengers to survive a jet crash in Colombia suffered a brain hemorrhage and is in critical condition, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
The jet that the 11-year-old was on crashed on the resort island of San Andres while attempting to land during a thunderstorm. The plane’s fuselage cracked in half. The aircraft was carrying 131 people, and there was one fatality and 20 people hospitalized.
Authorities believe it was miraculous that only person was killed in the crash.
The 11-year-old, Maria Camila Angarita, broke her pelvis as well as sustaining brain injury, according to AP. She was put into an induced coma at a Bogota hospital.
Plane passengers said there were no problems as the jet came in to land, although they did see lightning outside the window. But then the plane hit the ground hard, with its body breaking into two pieces.
