Sat Feb 01 13:42:12 IST 2025: ## Air Ambulance Crashes in Philadelphia, Killing Six Mexican Citizens
**Philadelphia, PA** – A tragic air ambulance crash in a Philadelphia neighborhood claimed the lives of all six people on board, including a young Mexican girl recently discharged from a Philadelphia hospital and her mother. The Learjet 55, operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, crashed shortly after takeoff Friday evening around 6 pm, exploding in a fiery crash that damaged several homes and vehicles.
The plane, carrying the child who had received treatment at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia for a life-threatening condition, was en route to Tijuana, Mexico, with a planned stop in Missouri. All six occupants – the child, her mother, and four crew members – were Mexican citizens, according to the Mexican foreign ministry. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance confirmed that there were no survivors.
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker described the scene as a major emergency, with numerous homes and cars engulfed in flames. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed condolences and offered prayers to the victims’ families. President [Trump’s name, depending on the intended publication date] also commented on the tragedy via social media, expressing sadness and praising first responders.
This incident marks another devastating aviation disaster in the United States, following a mid-air collision between an American Airlines jet and a military helicopter in Washington, D.C. earlier this week. Authorities are investigating the cause of the Philadelphia crash.
