US EditionLawsuit filed over 2 deaths in January air ambulance crash in Philadelphia
The lawsuit alleges negligence by Med Jets and others caused the crash that killed 8 and injured over 20, with investigation hampered by inoperable flight recorders.
- On Nov. 17, the estates of Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo and Lizeth Murillo Osuna filed a wrongful-death complaint against Med Jets, S.A. de C.V. in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas.
- On Jan. 31, a Learjet 55 operated by Med Jets plunged about a minute after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport and slammed into Cottman Avenue near Roosevelt Mall, igniting a massive fire.
- Authorities reported that the wreckage stretched roughly 1,410 feet long, injured at least 24 people, and damaged around 350 properties near Roosevelt Mall, Philadelphia.

- The National Transportation Safety Board reported that the flight voice recorder was inoperable and no crew distress calls were recorded, limiting the ongoing crash investigation and highlighting an earlier Med Jets crash.
