Sole Survivor Of Crash In Mexico, Girl Flown To Tampa By Air Ambulance

TAMPA, FL — A 12-year-old Wimauma girl critically injured in a vehicle crash in Mexico returned to Tampa Bay Tuesday afternoon with the help of Jet ICU, a Tampa-based air ambulance company.

Jasmin Cervantes-Garcia is the sole survivor of a crash that killed her parents and grandparents late last month.

Jasmin was vacationing with her family in Leon, Mexico, when reports say a charter bus hit the family’s pickup truck head on.

The 12-year-old has been fighting for her life in a hospital in Mexico. Her aunt, Cindy Garcia, started a GoFundMe page to bring Jasmin home, so she can get the medical treatment she needs.

More than $35,300 has been donated for her care.

Jet ICU picked up Jasmin, her older brother, Cruz Cervantes-Garcia, and her aunt in Leon, Mexico, arriving in Tampa around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday.

From there, the girl was transported to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg for further care.

Jet ICU operates the largest long-range air ambulance fleet in North America. The Tampa-based company flies globally and is accredited by the National Accreditation Alliance of Medial Transport Applications, a distinction that sets Jet ICU apart in the air ambulance industry.
