Mourners remembered victims of the Nov. 4 crash at a vigil later that week.

UPS flight 2976 crashed as it attempted to take off on Nov. 4. Local officials said another victim died Christmas Day.

The death toll from last month’s UPS plane crash rose again Thursday.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced on social media that Alain Rodriguez Colina died on Christmas Day.

Greenberg said Colina was severely injured in the accident on Nov. 4.

WAVE 3 reports Colina was an employee of Grade A Recycling, a business near the airport that was hit by the plane.

This brings the total number killed by the failed takeoff of UPS flight 2976 to 15.

The federal investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
