Teenager Ye Meng Yuan didn't die when a plane crashed at San Francisco International Airport last July. She actually survived the impact -- only to die minutes later after a fire
truck ran over her.
Now, newly released video obtained by CBS suggests emergency workers saw Ye's injured body on the ground
before she was fatally struck -- challenging earlier claims that she was accidentally run over because she may have been covered in firefighting foam.
In the footage, one firefighter tried to stop an emergency vehicle racing toward the scene.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop! There's a body ... there's a body right there. Right in front of you," the
firefighter told the driver.
No charges for firefighter who ran over Asiana crash survivor The video was captured on a camera attached to a firefighter's helmet. CBS said it obtained the footage from a source close to Ye's family.
Another video from a fire truck shows a firefighter on the ground directing the truck around a victim, who was not covered in foam at the time.
Ye was eventually run over by a fire truck, San Francisco Fire Department Chief Joanne Hayes-White said last July.
"I particularly want to express our condolences and apologies to the family of Ye Meng Yuan," the chief said.
"We're heartbroken. We're in the business of saving lives ... There's not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel about it."
A California coroner ruled that Ye was alive when flung from the plane but died of "multiple blunt injuries that are consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle."
