An air ambulance carrying six people crashed near a mall in northeast Philadelphia on Friday evening, the company that operates the aircraft said.

An air ambulance carrying six people crashed near a mall in northeast Philadelphia on Friday evening, the company that operates the aircraft said.

Jet Rescue Air Ambulance said it could not confirm any survivors among those on board its plane, which included four crew members, a pediatric patient and the patient's escort, according to a statement.

"Our immediate concern is for the patient's family, our personnel, their families and other victims that may have been hurt on the ground," the company said. A spokesperson said it's unlikely anyone on board survived.

Mayor Cherelle Parker said at a news conference Saturday morning that a person in a car was also killed and 19 people were injured. She said “several dwellings and vehicles were impacted.”

Six people with injuries attributed to the crash were taken to Temple University Hospital — Jeanes Campus, near Northeast Philadelphia — where three were in fair condition and three others were treated and released, a spokesperson for the institution said.
