A business jet crashed in a neighbourhood in Florida on Sunday, killing all nine people on board, the US transport secretary has said.
The crash happened some nine miles (14 km) from Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach County, at 12:50 EST (17:50 GMT).
The Learjet 60 aircraft had departed from Austin, Texas, and was headed to the Bahamas.
Transport Secretary Sean Duffy described the crash as a “horrific tragedy”, and said the FAA was sending a team to the scene to support an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.
“Please join me in praying for the families and loved ones of those we lost,” Duffy added.
