A 16-year-old girl has emerged as a 'superhero' after miraculously surviving a plane crash in a mountainous region in Washington state that is feared to have killed her grandparents.

A teenage girl who survived a plane crash in Washington state's rugged Cascade Mountains found her way to safety by walking for two days through the forest until she was able to flag down help, the Seattle Times reported on Monday.

Rescue workers in Washington state said they would continue searching today for a small plane carrying three people that disappeared after takeoff from neighboring Montana.
