A third passenger has reportedly died after an Asiana Airlines plane crash landed in San Francisco last week having been in intensive care since the incident.
The news site WCPO.com had quoted San Francisco General Hospital interim surgery chief Margaret Knudson as saying that a number of passengers had come to the hospital suffering from injuries including paralysis, unconsciousness and serious abdominal bleeding.
Police have also confirmed that one of two people who had initially been reported as dead was struck by a fire engine, which was en route to the site. The autopsy is still due to see if she was alive when she was hit.
The Boeing 777 crashed on a flight from Seoul to San Francisco carrying 291 passengers, as reported by Travel Daily.
A statement by the airline at the time said:
“Asiana Airlines is currently investigating the specific cause of the incident as well as any injuries that may have been sustained to passengers as a result. Asiana Airlines will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation of all associated government agencies and to facilitate this cooperation has established an emergency response centre at its headquarters.”
