The seven-year-old survivor of a horror plane crash that killed her family tried to wake up her dead parents before struggling on to safety, it has emerged.
The horrific crash killed the parents, sister and cousin of Sailor Gutzler, who was left alone in a forest after dark with a broken wrist and almost a mile away from any help.
But before she struggled through the thick brush, the child tried to wake up her dead relatives, thinking they might be asleep.
Sailor tried to rouse the family members to no avail. She told Larry Wilkins, whose door she ended up at after her desperate walk to safety, but they 'wouldn't wake up', according to ABC News.
