A cargo plane operated by Amazon Prime Air crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, overrunning the runway during landing and colliding with several vehicles. The Boeing 767-300, which had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, crashed around 2 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The incident produced plumes of black smoke and a fire that required the response of more than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units.
The aircraft, identified as Prime Air Flight 7598, was operating under Amazon Prime Air, a division of Amazon responsible for delivering packages via air. The FAA has confirmed it is investigating the crash, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is collecting information. Miami-Dade Aviation officials said the plane overshot the airport's diagonal runway and came to rest near a roadway, where it remained largely intact despite the fire.
The crash led to the closure of all runways and taxiways at the airport, with a ground stop issued that halted all departures and arrivals. Officials reported that the ground stop was issued around 2:30 p.m., affecting flights across the United States. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said responders would assess the scene and warned of potential delays and cancellations.
As of the latest reports, details about injuries or fatalities remained unclear. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue indicated they were assessing the health status of those involved. Some sources mentioned unconfirmed reports of casualties, while others suggested that injuries were being treated.
The incident caused significant disruption to air traffic, with approximately 250 flights delayed as of late afternoon Sunday. The FAA warned that delays could continue even after the airport reopened, with arrivals and departures expected to resume at a reduced rate. Amazon did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the FAA confirmed the crash in a statement, noting the incident is under investigation.
