SAN JOSE (KRON) — Stacey Pierce, a victim of the Riverside plane crash, has died of her injuries, according to an update on the family’s GoFundMe page.
The 46-year-old San Jose woman was ejected from the plane and suffered third-degree burns over 90 percent of her body. She’s been hospitalized since the crash and both of her legs were amputated, according to her husband.
Pierce was one of the five people aboard a Cessna T310Q on Feb. 27 when it crashed into a Riverside neighborhood shortly after takeoff.
Three other people were also killed in the crash: Pierce’s 67-year-old mother, Dana Hijazi; 83-year-old stepfather, Nouri Hijazi; and family friend Adine Ferales, 22. Ferales’ mother, Silvia Ferales, is the sole survivor of the crash.
The five occupants were returning to San Jose after attending a cheerleading competition at Disneyland over the weekend. Pierce’s daughter Brooke was competing in the competition.
The San Jose mom had four children with her husband, Richard Pierce.Stay with KRON4 News for updates
