Girl, 3, lone survivor of Golden plane crash


Tuesday, October 30,2007


A three year old girl is recovering in an Alberta hospital after search and rescue teams found her strapped into a car seat in the wreckage of a small plane that crashed near Golden, B.C. Kate Williams, the only survivor among the three passengers, was listed in good, stable condition Monday at Alberta’s Children’s Hospital in Calgary.
The girl’s grandfather, Allen Williams, 65, was killed in the crash along with his colleague, Steven T. Sutton, 49.

Williams was the CEO of a well know Edmonton engineering firm and Sutton was the firm’s chief financial officer. They were returning from a weekend business retreat in Golden to Edmonton, where they both lived.

Search and rescue crews the wreckage of the Cessna 172 Sunday evening and the little girl was airlifted to the Golden Hospitals. She was admitted to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Monday afternoon and will be kept overnight under observation.

Search and rescue crews said the car seat Kate was strapped into likely saved her life, withstanding the impact of the crash.

Wendy Copper, a friend and co-worker of Williams, said he adored his grandchildren and covered his desk with their photos.

This is sad news. I think the three years would not be okay, but of course, their family would care her with loves. I wish she will be okay. She will remember the crash when she grows up, and sorrows, but with the parent’s love, she will be same as others. I am praying for the two passengers who were died, and I don’t want to hear this kind of news. We should always be careful during driving a car.
