DES MOINES, Iowa -- A Georgia toddler who came to Iowa for medical treatment for clubfoot has died from injuries suffered in a plane crash in Iowa City.

Two-year-old Sydney Blanton and her mother, Christina Blanton, of Thomasville, Ga. were passengers on the single-engine plane that crashed just after take-off on Tuesday from the Iowa City airport.

The toddler's grandfather, Alan Harden, of Thomasville, confirmed Wednesday that she died from the crash.

Christina Blanton is Harden's daughter. She remains hospitalized at University Hospitals in Iowa City.

Also injured in the crash was the pilot, Lewis Martin, of Bloomington, Ill.

The flight, which was headed back to Alabama and then Georgia, was arranged by Angel Flight Central Inc., a Kansas City, Mo.-based organization that provides free flights for people needing health care.

A police spokesman said it appeared a wing of the Socata TBM-700 plane was sheared off when the plane struck a utility pole and it came to rest in the parking lot of a dentist office.
