The Air Canada flight attendant who survived the deadly crash at LaGuardia Airport last weekend, is in hospital with several “severe injuries,” including shattered legs and a fractured spine, that will require multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation, her daughter says.
Solange Tremblay was “conscious” when the seat she was strapped to was ejected more than 320 feet after Air Canada Express Flight 8646 slammed into a fire truck while attempting to land at LaGuardia Airport in New York just before midnight on March 22, her daughter Sarah Lépine wrote in a GoFundMe set up to help her mother during recovery.
