HILADELPHIA (AP) — At least seven people were killed and 19 were injured when an air ambulance crashed into a busy Philadelphia intersection, officials said Saturday. The dead from Friday’s accident include a child who was receiving treatment at a Philadelphia hospital and her mother.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that all six of those on board the jet — including a child who had received medical treatment at a Philadelphia hospital — were killed. All the victims were from Mexico.

In addition, one person on the ground who was in a car was killed and 19 others were injured in the crash, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said.

The crash scene was a very large area with a lot of damage and authorities were working to assess the damage, said Adam Thiel, the city’s managing director. Teams were going house to house inspecting the dwellings in the area to search for damage.
