Emergency crews were responding to a small plane crash near the airport in Boca Raton, Fla., on Friday, officials said, which sent large plumes of smoke billowing into the air as residents reported hearing a thunderous crashing sound.
Footage from television news showed debris on a set of train tracks beneath a highway overpass. The Boca Raton police said a major section of Interstate 95 had been closed near the crash site. A business manager at the airport said the airport was closed because of an “aircraft incident.”
The airport mainly operates private and charter flights. It was not immediately clear what type of plane was involved in the crash or how many people were on board at the time.
This is a developing story.
