A Learjet 60 traveling from Austin to the Bahamas crashed into a South Florida neighbourhood on Sunday afternoon, exploding into a fireball near a roadway.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said there were no immediate reports of ground casualties.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The pilots had reported turbulence, icing and precipitation shortly before requesting a higher altitude, suggesting weather conditions may have played a role in the crash, though investigators have not confirmed a cause. The steep, rapidly accelerating descent described by officials points to a sudden loss of control, which the NTSB inquiry will aim to explain.
- All nine people aboard the Learjet 60 died in the crash.
- Pilots had reported turbulence and icing before the plane entered a steep dive.
- FAA and NTSB are investigating the cause of the crash near a Palm Beach County roadway.
