They found the airplane sinking into the river. Troopers say Brett Winterbottom of Glacier View “tethered himself to his ATV and swam into the Matanuska River and saved the adult male and 7-month-old child.” Winterbottom handed the baby to Tammy Saunders, a Texas nurse who is visiting Alaska. Saunders was able to render aid to the child, according to troopers.
The other occupant of the plane became separated and swam to the other side of the river. Troopers say another person arrived in a helicopter and carried the woman back to her family on the opposite shore.Copyright 2022 KTUU. All rights reserved.
