Officials investigate the scene where cars were damaged after a Prime Air cargo plane overran the runway and struck vehicles at Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, on September 6, 2026.
No fewer than five people were killed and five others injured when an Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway after it landed Sunday at the Miami International Airport, crashed into vehicles and caught fire, officials said.
Miami-Dade County fire chief Ray Jadallah told reporters that in addition to five fatalities, three people were transported to trauma centres “in critical condition” and two more were treated at a local hospital.
“The airplane did strike a couple of vehicles,” which left “a couple of victims that were actually trapped in the vehicles,” Jadallah said.
“A complex extrication with our technical rescue team” was needed, “including a search and rescue of the pilot and co-pilot who were trapped in this aircraft.”
