Deaf Woman Walking Dog Hit by Plane, and Survives
Tiffany Harrison was hit by a plane in a freak accident while walking in the park.
The impact fractured her spine and broke her pelvis, but she’s in recovery after surgery.
A man was piloting a homebuilt ultralight airplane when his engine died, radioing,
“I’ve lost power, declaring an emergency.”and
“I don’t think I’m going to make it, uh, I’m going… I’m going to pick a field here.”
The field he chose happened to be the soccer field at a park in Long Beach, California, where Harrison was walking her dog.
Her partner, Veronica Barrera, witnessed the incident, saying
“That plane hit her so fast.”
Harrison is deaf and did not hear the plane approaching.
