Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A small plane with four people on board has crashed, killing a 13-year-old girl and sending the rest of her family to the hospital in serious condition, authorities said.
The Sheridan County Sheriff's Office in a statement Tuesday said that authorities received reports at about 4:57 p.m. MDT Monday of a person either injured of lost in the area of Bighorn National Forest's Big Mountain Area. Additional reports then followed of a possible plane crash.
A First Flight from Greybull, Wyo., flew over the area and confirmed evidence of a plane crash, the sheriff's office said.
Rescue and medical teams were deployed to the scene, where they found wreckage of a single-engine aircraft and the deceased 13-year-old. Three others -- identified as an 11-year-old boy, a 54-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman -- were reported in serious condition and were flown to area hospitals.
