At least five people were killed Sunday when an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overran a runway while landing at Miami International Airport and struck several vehicles on the ground, local officials said.
Prime Air Flight 7598 overran the airport’s diagonal runway shortly before 2:00 p.m. EDT (6:00 p.m. GMT), crashing into multiple vehicles, officials said at an afternoon news conference.
Five other people were injured, including three who were in critical condition, Miami-Dade Fire Chief Ray Jadallah said.
At least two of the injured were trapped inside vehicles struck by the aircraft, while the pilot and co-pilot were trapped inside the plane following the crash, Jadallah said.
Officials did not immediately identify those who were killed.
