MIAMI, FL — An Indian American teenager, Nisha Sejwal, was among four people killed in Florida on July 17 when two small planes collided.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a news release that Sejwal, 19 of New Delhi; Jorge Sanchez, 22; Ralph Knight, 72; and Carlos Alfredo Zanetti Scarpati, 22, died in the mishap involving two planes belonging to the Dean International Flight School.
Sejwal began attending the flight school in September 2017. She had also attended Amity International School and DAV Model School in Yusuf Sarai in Delhi.
The planes—a Piper PA-34 and a Cessna 172—crashed in a remote region accessible only by air, boat or helicopter.
Miami Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said that the flight school has a history of more than two dozen accidents between 2007 and 2017.
