Medical plane crashes in Philadelphia neighbourhood
Philadelphia: Debris scattered across street after medical jet crashes into neighbourhood

A medical plane crashed in a Philadelphia neighbourhood on Friday night, killing one person in a car and all six people on board, including a mother and her daughter.

According to Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, many people on the ground were injured as homes and fires in the areas were ablaze in the aftermath.

The medical transport plane was taking the girl - who had been receiving care in the US for a life-threatening condition - back to Tijuana, Mexico.

Four crew members were also on board.

Flight logs show the plane was in the air for only a minute before it crashed.

In an audio recording obtained by CBS News, the BBC's US partner, an air traffic controller can be heard saying they are not exactly sure what had happened.

Meanwhile, fifteen people were treated at Jefferson Health after the crash.

Jefferson Health says they provided care for 15 people on Friday night, 12 of whom have since been discharged.

Two people have been admitted for further care, and one patient has been transferred to another hospital.
