Authorities said today, Friday, that a third girl died this morning from injuries suffered in the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash landing at San Francisco airport, and that one of the two victims who were killed the day of the crash had been run over by a fire truck.
A San Francisco police public information officer, Albie Esparza, confirmed what had been reported earlier as a possibility – that one of the two 16-year-old Chinese girls who died the day of the tragedy last Saturday had been run over by one of the responding emergency vehicles, according to Reuters news service.

A third victim in the Asiana Airlines plane crash at San Francisco International Airport last weekend died this morning, Friday, a San Francisco General Hospital spokeswoman said.

The victim, a girl who had been a passenger on Flight 214, had been in critical condition and succumbed to her injuries this morning, hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said.

No further information was immediately being released about the girl out of respect for her family, Kagan said.

San Francisco General Hospital this afternoon is still treating six patients, five adults and a child, who were injured in the crash at the airport on Saturday.

Two of those patients, both adults, remain in critical condition with injuries that include spinal cord and abdominal trauma, road rash and bone fractures, Kagan said.

The other four patients' conditions range from serious to fair to good, she said.

The hospital has handled a total of 67 patients who were injured in the crash, according to Kagan.
