KETCHIKAN — Morgan Enright continues her recovery in Seattle after surviving a plane crash on Admiralty Island earlier in April.
Enright was the lone survivor of an April 8 crash that killed three other people onboard near Prybus Bay on the southern coast of Admiralty.
The 21-year-old Ketchikan resident was flown soon after the crash to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. After spending days in critical condition, she has been moved out of intensive care, according to her mother, Chere Klein.
Posting updates online at www.caringbridge.org, Klein wrote that her daughter left Harborview’s intensive care unit on Friday.
Klein and other members of Enright’s family have called her survival and continued recovery a miracle.
Investigators believe low visibility was a factor in the crash, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board.
Lance Ewers, captain of Sitka Mountain Rescue, said his emergency responders were shocked to find Enright alive in the plane, which had lost its wings in the crash.
The pilot, David Galla, 60, and passengers Greg Scheff, 61, and Thomas Siekawitch, 57, were killed in the crash. All were from Wrangell.
