CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A small plane flying to Jamaica crashed into a pond in Coral Springs on Monday morning, killing two people, officials said.
It happened just after 10:15 a.m. within the gated Windsor Bay neighborhood, located southwest of the Sawgrass Expressway and State Road 7.
The victims killed in the crash were Alexander Wurm, 53, and his daughter Serena, 22, according to Facebook post by Ignite The Fire, a religious organization founded by Alexander Wurm.
5 p.m. video:
Video from Sky 10, taken just before 11 a.m., showed a damaged fence and a debris field.
Officials with the city of Fort Lauderdale confirmed that the plane was a Beechcraft King Air B100 headed to Montego Bay for a Hurricane Melissa relief flight.
Surveillance video showed the plane crashing nose-first at high speed into the ground ― taking out part of a fence ― then into the water.
“We just see this black figure, it was a plane, going straight down,” witness Marcos Lima said.
Afterward, Lima said he and other saw “pieces of the plane and body parts everywhere.”
No injuries were reported on the ground.
The plane, manufactured in 1976, was registered to International Air Services, Inc. in Carson City, Nevada, according to Federal Aviation Administration data.
International Air Services calls itself “a professional aircraft registration company that specializes in providing individual trust agreements to non-U.S.A. citizens to enable them to legally register their aircraft” with the FAA.
The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed on social media that it’s investigating the crash.
