Boca Raton Plane Crash Kills 3, Injures 1 on Ground

A Cessna 310R crashed shortly after takeoff due to reported mechanical issues, prompting an investigation by federal authorities.

The Cessna 310R departed Boca Raton Airport at 10:20 a.m. on April 11, bound for Tallahassee, but crashed minutes later near Military Trail and Interstate 95.
All three individuals onboard were killed, and one man on the ground sustained non-life-threatening injuries after his car was struck by debris and pushed onto railroad tracks.
Eyewitnesses reported the plane flying unusually low and circling before crashing, with a fireball visible on impact.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are leading an investigation into the mechanical issues that caused the crash.
Roads near the crash site remain closed as emergency responders and investigators work to secure the area and collect evidence.
