Three killed in small plane crash in Florida

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Three people were killed when a small plane crashed in Boca Raton, Florida, on Friday, fire officials said.

Boca Raton Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Michael LaSalle said the plane experienced "mechanical issues" before the crash.

A man driving a vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries as the plane crashed down next to him, damaging his car, he said.

The Cessna 310R took off from Boca Raton Airport and was heading to Tallahassee International Airport when it came down in the area of North Military Trail and Glades Road, a short distance from Boca Raton Airport, according to reports citing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Footage captured by Luis Hernandez shows multiple emergency vehicles rushing to the scene, and the wreckage of the plane burning after it crashed onto railway tracks.

The crash was being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), LaSalle added.
