Plane crashes, burns on railroad tracks near I-95 in Boca Raton
Initial unconfirmed reports indicate at least three people may be dead after the plane crashed short of the runway shortly after 10 a.m., hitting a car and pushing it onto the railroad tracks near Military Trail and Glades Road, said Lt. Karl Richards with Boca Raton Fire Rescue. All trains will be held for now, Richards said. The status of the pilot is still unknown.
The plane erupted into flames, sending large plumes of smoke up, visible from Interstate 95. Fire rescue crews have since put the fires out, Richards said.
Military Trail is closed between Northwest 19th Street and Butts Road, and the Interstate 95 overpass at Glades Road also is closed both eastbound and westbound, according to the Boca Raton Police Department.
