Deadly Plane Crash at Grade A Auto Parts in Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A UPS cargo plane crashed into Grade A Auto Parts late Tuesday night, resulting in catastrophic damage to the scrapyard and prompting a massive fire response.
According to witnesses, the crash, which occurred just after 9 p.m., destroyed the company's main scrap house. CFO Georgie Dow, who was in the office at the time, described the scene as chaotic, stating, “Everything runs through your mind all at once. Is it an earthquake? Are we on a volcano?”
Three employees of Grade A Auto Parts remain unaccounted for, and authorities believe that customers may have been present on site. CEO Sean Garber, who was allowed to survey the damage, reported, “It's a war zone. There was heat, smoke, and oil, and they told us there were still bodies that were unidentifiable.”
Emergency crews responded swiftly, but the search for missing individuals continues as Grade A collaborates with law enforcement to identify the victims. The company and the community are grappling with the profound impact of this disaster.
As the situation develops, further updates will be provided.
