Nine killed in fiery Florida jet crash

A Learjet 60 business jet crashed on Sunday in the Cresthaven neighbourhood of Palm Beach County, killing all nine people on board. The aircraft had departed Austin, Texas, for the Bahamas and struck a residential road near Military Trail, causing a major explosion. Governor Ron DeSantis said no casualties on the ground had been reported, while 600 residents of a nearby trailer-park community were evacuated. Thunderstorms were reported in the area; investigators are examining the crash, and officials said the road would remain closed for at least 30 days.
