A small aircraft crashed near Cresthaven, Florida, on Sunday, killing all nine people on board, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The incident occurred at 12:50 PM local time near Cresthaven, Florida, with the Learjet 60 departing from Austin, Texas, and heading to the Bahamas. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will send a team to the scene to assist the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation.

At this point, it is unclear if there were any ground personnel injured in the incident. According to air traffic control radio communications obtained from LiveATC.net, the pilot reported forming ice on the aircraft and experiencing turbulence a few minutes before the accident. Shortly after, the aircraft declared an emergency before impacting the ground about 8.2 kilometers away.

Local media reported that dust storms occurred in several areas as the plane flew through the dust storm a few minutes before it began its descent.
