It wasn’t immediately clear how many people were on the plane and whether there were any survivors. Fire officials told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the aircraft appeared to have pushed a car onto the railroad tracks, leading to their closure. The fate of the car’s occupants was also unknown.
Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer said the investigation was just beginning.
“We are deeply saddened to confirm that a plane crash occurred earlier today within our community. At this time, details are still emerging, and we are working closely with emergency responders and authorities,” Singer said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event.
