Videos from the scene show thick black smoke after an Amazon Prime plane overshot a runway and crashed into multiple vehicles on Sunday.
An Amazon Prime cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, officials have confirmed. The Boeing 767, which had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, was en route to Miami when it went off the end of the runway. It is currently unknown if there were any injuries resulting from the crash. Thick black smoke billowed from the plane as it came to rest, engulfed in flames.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue teams were on the scene, working to extinguish the fire and tend to any potential victims. The plane took off from Puerto Rico at noon and arrived in Miami around 2 p.m., according to Flight Aware's tracking data. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a full ground stop at the airport while investigators assess the situation.
All runways were closed following the incident, leaving the disabled plane at the airport's northwest end. Amazon Prime Air did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the matter. This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.
