Miami-Dade Fire Rescue posted an update on Sunday afternoon, but without many details. “Over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units are on scene of an incident involving a plane that overran a runway and struck multiple vehicles near Miami International Airport. Units arrived to find an airplane that had caught on fire as a result of this crash, with heavy flames and smoke showing. Firefighters are working on extinguishing the fire and assessing patients,” the X post said. The crash was deadly.

Details on possible causes for the crash will be forthcoming when available. At least five people died in the crash, but given the fact that the plane ran into multiple vehicles, the ultimate casualty count could be higher. TMZ cited Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, who said that in addition to the five deceased victims, there are five injured individuals. The roadway where the crashed plane ended up was busy with traffic at the time.
