A light plane crashed in Florida, killing three individuals and leading to a quick emergency response. The deadly crash was confirmed by the authorities earlier today, with fire and rescue units responding to the crash site immediately.
The accident caused the closure of a number of roads in the area as authorities struggled to close off the site and determine the extent of damage. Authorities are yet to publish the names of the victims, and investigations continue to identify what caused the crash.
Witnesses described seeing smoke and a large boom when the plane crashed. Some residents in close proximity to the crash were evacuated for precautionary reasons, although there are currently no reports of damage to homes.
Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have been informed and will be investigating the unfortunate incident. Further updates will be made as information is received.
