A private jet that departed Austin crashed into a South Florida mobile home park Sunday, setting off a massive fireball and leaving 9 people dead, the New York Post reported.
The aircraft was heading to the Bahamas when it came down near Greenacres in Palm Beach County, according to the report. The number of people aboard and whether anyone on the ground was among the victims remained unclear in the initial account.
Video appears to show impact
Dashcam video circulating on social media appears to show an aircraft plunging steeply toward the ground beside a wet roadway. A bright flash follows, then a towering fireball rises near utility lines and roadside buildings.
The AZ Intel account shared the recording on X. The footage does not establish what caused the crash.
