One local family is mourning their loss of a loved one who was killed in the plane crash outside along the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., Wednesday night.

I’m just praying that somebody’s pulling her out of the river as we speak. That’s all I can pray for,” said Hamaad Raza, whose family is from St. Louis.

A board member and legal officer for the St. Louis Civic Pride Foundation tweeted that his nephew’s wife was on board the plane that collided with a helicopter in Washington D.C. Wednesday night.
