A Lyon County, Kentucky 911 operator received a distress call around 5:55PM Friday in which the caller reported that a 7-year-old girl had come to his door saying that she'd survived a plane crash.

She, in fact, was the only survivor of a plane bound for Mount Vernon, Illinois. Three passengers and the pilot were killed.

The young girl sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is being treated in a nearby hospital.
