A Cessna 172 type aircraft, registration HK 5101, crashed this Sunday when it was flying over the Guaymaral sector, exactly on the north highway with 230 street.

The only person on board was the pilot, a 25-year-old girl who was quite affected. Carlos Rodríguez, who was taking care of the properties where the accident occurred, ran to see what had happened.

“I heard a noise, it didn’t seem so strange to me, but for a moment I heard an impact. I went out to look and saw a plane behind the house that had crashed two of the cows that we have there and I was very scared and did not know what to do, “said Carlos.

Although he hesitated for a few moments, he knew he could offer to help. “My first reaction was to go back, to pull out a knife. When I saw a girl I cut a belt and as I could I pulled her from the arms and pulled her to the side”, He complemented.

Later, the police arrived at the site and received the young woman from Carlos. The uniformed men put her on the hawk helicopter and while that was happening, the plane caught fire.

According to the authorities, the student who manned the aircraft survived the emergency thanks to the courageous action of this man.

The pilot’s family thanked him for saving the young woman’s life. “He is the absolute hero of our lives and our family and we will be eternally grateful to him because in a decision of seconds he decided to risk his own life for Daniela’s life and took her out. Eternally he will be welcome in my house, eternally I will be grateful to him. It will be part of our lives. Before the generosity of Carlos there are no words”Said Felipe Benavides, boyfriend of the student who was driving the aircraft.

This is the second plane crash to occur in less than a week. Last Tuesday a married couple and a nanny lost their lives in Ubaté, only their one-year-old son survived.
