Florida Father Killed, Daughter Critically Injured in Beach Plane Crash
A man was killed and his daughter critically injured Sunday when they were hit by a plane making an emergency landing on a Florida beach, officials said.
“One man is deceased, and a young girl, possibly around the age of 10 is very critically injured,” Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Wendy Rose told ABC News.
Ommy Irizarry, 36, and his daughter, Oceana Irizarry, 9, were walking along the beach in Sarasota County, Fla., when a small plane made an emergency crash landing along the shore, killing the man on impact, Rose said.
The little girl was transported via helicopter to to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, where she was in critical condition.
