Three people have reportedly been killed in a small plane that has crashed near Boca Raton Airport in Florida.
The death toll has been reported by local media - however it has not been confirmed by authorities.
Flightradar24 reported that the aircraft involved is believed to be a Cessna 310R - a US-made four-to-six-seat, low-wing, twin-engine monoplane.
The flight tracking authority stated: "We're following reports of a crash of a small aircraft in Boca Raton. ADS-B data indicates the aircraft is Cessna 310R N8930N. The aircraft appears to have been trying to return to BCT shortly after takeoff."
Boca Raton Police issued a statement: "N. Military Trail is closed between NW 19th St. and Butts Rd. due to small aircraft crash. I-95 overpass at Glades Rd. is also closed eastbound and westbound. Avoid the Area."
Possible plane crash right outside my office today. Shook the whole building. Unfortunately I'm certain lives were lost here today. Thoughts and prayers to anyone who survived and the families of those who didn't.
