MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy has died after a float plane crashed and flipped upon landing in Lake Goodwin near Marysville.
Snohomish County search and rescue Commander Rodney Rochon said that the boy’s father managed to escape the plane, but the boy was trapped inside under water for nearly 25 minutes Saturday afternoon.
Divers pulled him from the plane and he was rushed to an Everett hospital, where he later died.
Rochon also tells the station that the wheels on the float plane were extended, and that could have caused enough drag to flip the aircraft.
