A Learjet crashed into a neighborhood in southern Florida, killing all nine people on board, officials confirmed. The crash occurred near Cresthaven, a community in Palm Beach County, roughly seven miles from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described the incident as "a horrific tragedy."
The plane, a Learjet 60, had departed from Austin, Texas and was headed to the Bahamas. Governor Ron DeSantis likened the crash to "a missile going down." No injuries were reported among residents on the ground. Trump had been at Mar-a-Lago earlier in the day but left for the airport shortly before the crash. The plane encountered moderate turbulence and was dealing with ice accumulation in the cockpit moments before the crash, according to audio recordings.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident.
