The deadly accident involving a Let L-410 light plane took place last Wednesday as the plane approached for landing near the settlement of Nelkan.

The crash claimed the lives of its two pilots and four passengers. The baby girl was the lone survivor.

After being taken to hospital in the city of Khabarovsk, doctors found that the girl had only minor injuries, suffering a slight concussion and a broken leg.

Her leg was operated on Monday. Doctors say her general condition is relatively satisfactory.

Her condition is stable, everything is normal; she is getting all the necessary treatment,doctors said.

According to the physician, children with similar injuries usually remain in hospital for about a month.

The girl’s mother, who was not on board the plane, earlier confirmed the extent of her daughter’s injuries, and said that she was being taken to her grandmother’s home in the countryside.

According to witnesses, the girl was saved by a heroic school teacher, who shielded the baby with her body as the plane made its fateful landing.

Local residents have asked that the teacher be posthumously awarded.
