A child who was critically injured in Saturday’s crash of Asiana Airlines

A child who was critically injured in Saturday’s crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 died Friday morning from her injuries, San Francisco General Hospital announced.

The girl, whose identity was withheld by hospital officials, had been in intensive care ever since she was taken to the hospital after the crash.

Also, one of two Chinese teens killed in the Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco International Airport was run over by a firetruck that responded to the emergency, police confirmed Friday.

It’s not yet clear whether the victim, 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan, was already dead from injuries in the crash when she was struck by the truck, police said.

“We are confirming that at least one time, a firetruck went over a victim,” said San Francisco Police Officer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman.

Yuan and Wang Linjia, also 16, were ejected from the Boeing 777 after it struck the airport’s sea wall upon landing Saturday. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman had said the initial review of video of the rescue efforts was inconclusive in determining whether a victim was run over.

The cause of the crash, which injured 181 of 307 passengers and crew, remains under investigation.
