PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon doctor says three family members injured in a plane crash in Anchorage, Alaska, are in stable condition and face long, painful recoveries.
Dr. Nick Eshraghi (ehs-SHRAH-gee) said Thursday that Preston Cavner, his wife, Stacie, and their 2-year-old son, Hudson, are under sedation and on respirators. They are at Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
They were in a plane that Preston Cavner was flying when it crashed Tuesday soon after takeoff. It burst into flames in a business district busy with rush-hour traffic. Passers-by pulled the victims from the plane.
Another passenger, 16-year-old Rachel Zientak, is being treated at the Harborview Burn Center in Seattle.
The Cavners’ 4-year-old son, Miles, died.
