Nine people were killed Sunday when a Learjet 60 crashed into a residential neighborhood in Palm Beach County, Florida, authorities said.
The aircraft, which had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas, crashed near Cresthaven at about 12:50 p.m. ET, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said all nine people on board were killed in the crash.
“The FAA is sending a team to the scene to support the NTSB’s investigation,” Duffy said in a statement on social media. “Please join me in praying for the families and loved ones of those we lost.”
