Now we know: The 16-year-old Chinese student whose body was found near the left wing of the Asiana Flight 214 wreckage died as the result of being run over by an emergency vehicle, in all likelihood a truck from San Francisco Fire Department. The Chronicle’s Jaxon Van Derbeken is citing two sources close to the investigation as saying that after surviving the crash, young Ye Meng Yuan, a champion athlete and outstanding student from China’s Zhejiang province, died from blunt force trauma as a result of being hit by a vehicle.
San Mateo County coroner Robert Foucrault has scheduled a press conference today.
