MIAMI — A small plane crash-landed on a bridge near Haulover Park on Saturday afternoon, hitting a vehicle and bursting into flames, authorities said. The crash sent six people to the hospital, some with serious injuries.
At around 1 p.m., the single-engine Cessna 172 lost engine power and landed on the Haulover Inlet Bridge, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane took off from Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale International Airport with three people on board, with a plan to land at Key West International Airport.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue says the plane was on fire when crews arrived. Arriving firefighters put out the flames and rescued those trapped and injured.
