AR-140329286

Police say a disoriented seven-year-old United State girl has walked to a home in the US state of Kentucky to report that her plane had crashed. BBC report:

The plane was later found with four bodies inside in Lyon County, about 30 miles (50km) east of Paducah city.

US TV news network NBC said the girl told the man who answered the door to her that her parents died in the crash.

The identity of the girl has not been released and police have not commented on her relationship with the victims.

The Federal Aviation Administration said air traffic controllers lost contact with the Piper PA-34 aircraft after the pilot reported engine problems.

About 30 minutes after the plane lost contact, a resident of Lyon County called police to say the girl had walked to his home to report the crash.

‘Brave little girl’

Larry Wilkins, 71, told NBC when he answered his door on Friday night there was a “little girl” standing there barefooted who was “bleeding pretty badly”.

“She told me that her mom and her dad were dead, and she was in a plane crash, and the plane was upside down,” he said.
