A twin-engine medevac jet carrying a child patient and her mother crashed in a neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia Friday night, causing a fiery explosion, according to authorities and video from the scene. The Learjet 55 with six people on board crashed after departing from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN.
On board was a pediatric patient and her mother, returning home to Mexico after the child had been treated in Philadelphia, said Shai Gold, spokesperson for flight operator Jet Rescue Air Ambulance. The downed Learjet was en route to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri, the FAA said. Gold told CNN the flight planned to stop for refueling at the Springfield airport before continuing to its final destination of Tijuana, Mexico. Also on board were four crew members, Gold said – a pilot, co-pilot, paramedic and doctor. All six people on board were Mexican nationals, according to Mexico’s foreign ministry. “At this time, we cannot confirm any survivors,” the air ambulance company said earlier Friday.
The plane took off just after 6 p.m. ET and reached 1,650 feet before plunging, according to data from ADS-B Exchange. The data shows the final speed of descent was 11,000 feet per minute.
As an air traffic controller tries to contact the plane, there’s a callout, heard on LiveATC.net, “Medevac med service, northeast tower. Medevac med service, northeast tower. Are you on frequency?”
A little over a minute later, the controller is heard saying: “We have a lost aircraft.”
Several houses and vehicles “were impacted,” Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said at a news conference Friday evening, but added that “we have no reports on the number of fatalities.”
CNN affiliate KYW reported there are several injuries reported on the ground.
Six patients were sent to Temple University Hospital-Jeanes Campus after the crash, a spokesperson from the hospital confirmed to CNN.
Three patients were treated and discharged, while the other three are in “fair condition,” the spokesperson said.
“No names are being released at this time until family members have been notified,” Jet Rescue said in a statement. “Our immediate concern is for the patient’s family, our personnel, their families and other victims that may have been hurt on the ground. More information will be released as it becomes available.”
A photo of the twin-engine jet, which has a tail number that indicates it is registered in Mexico, shows it has “Jet Rescue” painted on it. It also has medical logos on its tail and wingtip.
