A Navajo light twin engine plane went down near the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport and has reportedly crashed into some cars.
Thirty-foot flames and rising black smoke from the wreckage can be seen from blocks away.
The plane reportedly went down into the southwest portion of the UK Stone Warehouse at 964 NW 53rd St. in Ft. Lauderdale.
Fire fighters are on the scene extinguishing the blaze.
It’s unknown how many people were on the plane, or if there was anyone on the ground at the scene of the crash.
