An Amazon-branded cargo airplane overrun the runway at Miami International Airport and struck vehicles beyond the pavement, killing five people, officials said. The victims were employees of an aircraft cleaning company and were in a van when the crash occurred, according to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Reports from multiple outlets say the van was used to transport the cleaning crew, and that the plane also hit a passenger SUV. Several sources further state that the victims were identified by local authorities, with names including Rolando Aleman, Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, Julio C. Pineda, Carlos Acosta Fajardo and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, as reported by NBC News. The Guardian adds that while the five deaths were confirmed, two additional people remained hospitalized in critical condition at the time of its report.
Different outlets focus on different details: NBC News and City News Toronto emphasize the victims’ location in the crew van and confirmation from the NTSB, while The Guardian and Fox News highlight identification and the extent of injuries among people in the vehicles. Daily Mail also reports the victims’ identities, without adding distinct new circumstances beyond those described by officials.
