A seven-year-old girl survived when a small plane in which she was flying with her family crashed in the Kentucky woods, killing her parents, an older sister and a teenage cousin, police said on Saturday.

美國警方上周六透露，一架小型飛機(jī)失事墜毀在肯塔基州(Kentucky)樹林，一名七歲女孩奇跡生還，而她的父母、姐姐和表姐全部遇難。

 

 

The crash Friday night killed 48-year-old Marty Gutzler, his 46-year-old wife, Kimberly Gutzler, their nine-year-old daughter Piper Gutzler and 14-year-old Sierra Wilder, a cousin, according to Kentucky State Police. The family was from Nashville, Illinois, police said.

The girl's name was withheld at the request of family members, he said.

他說，其家人不愿警方透露女孩的名字。

"When you have a small plane crash in a wooded area it is going to cause significant damage," said Patterson. "It is amazing to me that the smallest person in that aircraft was the one that survived."

“當(dāng)小型飛機(jī)墜毀在樹林時(shí)，勢(shì)必釀成一場(chǎng)大災(zāi)難，”帕特森說，“令我震驚的是，年齡最小的乘客成了唯一幸存者。”

An area homeowner, Larry Wilkins, told CNN that the girl was crying and bloodied when she showed up at his door, nearly a mile from the crash site, and told him her parents were dead. "She's a terribly brave little girl," Wilkins said.

附近居民拉里·威爾金斯(Larry Wilkins)向CNN記者表示，女孩哭著、流著血走到他家門前，大約走了一英里(約1.6公里)，女孩說她的父母都死了。威爾金斯贊道：“她真是個(gè)勇敢的小姑娘。”

The family had spent the New Year's holiday in Florida, visiting a son who lives there, and was returning home when the plane went down.

The Gutzlers were part-owners of a family-owned furniture store that has served the southern Illinois community of Nashville for five decades. Employees and customers alike were in mourning, said family friend and store employee Troy Dunbar.

古茨勒家與他人共同經(jīng)營著一間家具店，這家店在伊利諾斯州(Illinois)南部的納什維爾區(qū)已經(jīng)開了五十年。他們的朋友和雇員特洛伊·鄧巴(Troy Dunbar)表示，員工和顧客都對(duì)此深表哀悼。

"This whole community is heartbroken," he said.

他說：“整個(gè)社區(qū)都籠罩在悲傷的氛圍中。”

Marty and Kim Gutzler's Facebook pages feature pictures of the couple celebrating New Year's Eve with a lobster dinner, as well as photos of the couple and the children packed into their airplane.

馬蒂和妻子遇難前還在Facebook上發(fā)布了吃龍蝦新年餐的照片，還有他們上飛機(jī)離開時(shí)的照片。

Dunbar said he had been told the girl had suffered a broken arm in the crash.

鄧巴聽說那個(gè)女孩在空難中傷了手臂。

"She was so attached to her dad," he said. "He would bring her into the store a lot and she was never out of his sight."

“女孩很黏她的父親，”他說，“她常被帶到店里而且與父親寸步不離。”
