One of the teenagers killed in the Asiana Airlines crash was struck by a fire truck while she was covered in foam sprayed to douse the jet's fire, police have said.
It was not clear, however, whether 16-year-old Ye Mengyuan was already dead or whether she was alive after the crash Saturday at San Francisco airport.
Authorities were still trying to determine the cause of death.
Emergency personnel sprayed fire retardant foam on the plane Police officials confirmed that she was hit after responding emergency personnel failed to see her on the ground near the downed airliner.
"When the fire truck repositioned itself to continue battling flames from the fuselage, the victim passenger was found in the tyre track of the fire truck," police spokesman Albie Esparza said.
Asiana Flight 214 collided with a rocky seawall just short of its intended airport runway on Saturday.
Wang Linija was also killed in the crash Two people were killed and dozens of others injured although most suffered minor injuries.
Investigators have said the plane came in too low and slow.
Nearly a week after the crash, investigators have pieced together an outline of the event.
With each new bit of information, the picture emerging is of pilots who were supposed to be closely monitoring the plane's airspeed, but who did not realise until too late that the aircraft was dangerously low and slow.
Nothing disclosed so far by the National Transportation Safety Board investigators indicates any problems with the Boeing 777's engines or the functioning of its computers and automated systems.
The flight's four pilots have been interviewed, as have passengers and dozens of witnesses.
Air traffic control recordings and video of the flight's last moments, including the crash itself, have been examined.
