A man who was severely injured in the fiery crash of a UPS cargo plane in Louisville, Kentucky, has died more than seven weeks later, bringing the total number of fatalities from the crash to 15.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg identified the victim as Alain Rodriguez Colina, saying that he died Thursday after suffering critical injuries in the crash.
"It is with great sadness that I just learned Alain Rodriguez Colina has passed," Greenberg wrote in an X post on Thursday evening. "Alain is the 15th victim of the UPS Flight 2976 accident. He suffered severe injuries at the time of the crash and passed earlier this Christmas Day. May Alain’s memory be a blessing."
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear reacted to the updated death toll on X, urging people to "pray for these families today and in the days, months and years to come so they know they are not alone and they are loved."
Colina’s death marks the latest development in one of the deadliest U.S. aviation disasters this year.
