Among the people on board was a child who had come to the U.S. for "life-saving treatment" and was going back home, a spokesperson for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance said.

The crash occurred near the Roosevelt Mall near Cottman and Bustleton Avenues. There were six people on board, the FAA confirmed in a post on X, formerly Twitter. There are "no reports on the number of fatalities," Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said in a press briefing.
