Pilot, 3 passengers hurt after plane crashes in Broward neighborhood, police say
Four people were injured after a small plane crashed in a Broward neighborhood Sunday night as it prepared to land at a nearby airport, officials say.
The crash occurred around 8:30 p.m. in Pembroke Pines near Southwest 14th Street and 68th Boulevard, just east of North Perry Airport, according to police. The pilot and three passengers were able to safely exit the plane.
They all have minor injuries, per authorities. Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue told Miami Herald news partner CBS News Miami that they were taken to a nearby hospital.
One of the occupants was labeled a “Trauma Level 1,” according to CBS News Miami, usually indicative of a severe injury.
At the time of the crash, the aircraft, a Cessna T337G, was approaching the airport, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, which is handling the investigation. The cause of the crash is unknown, the NTSB said, but happened about a mile short of the runway.
Photo of the wreckage captured by the South Florida Sun Sentinel shows several parts of the plane scattered on a patch of grass near a tree. Tree branches can be seen around the plane.
Police are warning residents to avoid Southwest 14th Street, which is closed between 68th Boulevard & SW 69th Avenue.
