2 women found alive after plane crashes in Georgia

Two women were miraculously found alive after their private plane crashed into a tree in Clayton County, Georgia.

The Clayton County Police Department said they found two injured women on the forest floor after they were dispatched to respond to a plane in distress late Tuesday night.

The call came in at 11:55 p.m. and officers were told the plane was running out of gas. It took officers over an hour to search the area where the crash occurred before they found the two women at around 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Officers also advised residents to avoid the area.

Police say they are still investigating the cause of the crash.
