The teenager who survived a small plane crash in Washington’s Cascade Mountains says she burned herself trying to pull her step-grandparents from the burning wreckage.

The father of a teenager who survived a plane crash in the forested mountains of north-central Washington state before walking for two days to reach safety has said she is doing remarkably well.

A teenage girl who survived a plane crash in craggy, thickly-forested mountains of Washington state emerged from the wilderness after hiking “for a couple of days” and was picked up by a motorist who drove her to safety, authorities have said.
