The Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna 310 went down after departing from Boca Raton Airport, bound for Tallahassee. Local police say the crash happened near highway overpass and railroad tracks, which prompted multiple road closures as emergency crews rushed to the scene. The plane caught fire, sending thick black smoke into the air. Firefighters were on the scene battling the blaze.
Boca Raton police say one person on the ground was taken to a nearby hospital and with non-life-threatening injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash. For NPR News, I'm Wilkin Brutus in Palm Beach County.
