A small aircraft carrying hurricane relief supplies to Jamaica crashed into a lake in Coral Springs, Florida, on Monday morning, killing both people aboard. The Beechcraft King Air twin-turboprop departed Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport around 10:14 a.m. and went down minutes later near Northwest 57th Way, scattering debris across residential backyards before plunging into a man-made pond.

Jamaica Transport Minister Daryl Vaz confirmed the plane lacked authorization to land in the country despite applying on November 10. The IAM Jet Centre in Montego Bay had outlined permit requirements, but received no response from the aircraft operator. However, the same plane had completed two previous relief flights to Jamaica via Cayman since Hurricane Melissa struck.

Dive teams searched the lake but found no large wreckage sections, with officials believing the aircraft broke apart on impact. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident alongside local authorities. No ground casualties were reported, though residents were warned about lingering aviation fuel odors.
