An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed after it overshot a runway at Miami International Airport


An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday before striking multiple vehicles and erupting into a blaze, officials said.

Videos from the scene show a fire and thick black smoke rising from the plane. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said that firefighters were “working on extinguishing the fire and assessing patients.”

The plane took off from Puerto Rico at noon and reached Miami around 2 p.m., according to data from Flight Aware, a plane tracking service.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on X that a full ground stop was in place “while first responders assess the scene.” The plane was left disabled at the northwest end of the airport.

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue radio transmissions recorded on Broadcastify, the plane struck a truck.

“We have a patient trapped,” a first responder said, according to the recordings.

A representative from Amazon did not immediately return a request for comment Sunday.
