Sebastian Joshua Grewal of Frazier Park was clinging to life at Loma Linda University Medical Center after the crash at El Mirage Dry Lake.
The pilot, Brian Lee, a 25-year veteran of the Los Angeles Fire Department, also died.
Lee, who was an LAFD helicopter pilot and firefighter paramedic, was flying with Grewal in a single-engine Grumman AA-1A on Monay morning when it struck the ground and flipped several times, leaving a trail of debris more than 30 yards long. Sheriff’s officials said something caused the aircraft to nosedive.
Lee and Grewal were airlifted to hospitals following the crash.
Lee died of his injuries at the hospital Monday.
