1 killed, 5 injured after small plane crashes on Florida's Miami Bridge

Florida: One person was killed and five others were injured when a small plane crash-landed on a bridge in Miami Saturday afternoon, hitting an SUV and bursting into flames.

The plane went down shortly before 1 p.m. on the Haulover Inlet Bridge near the 10800 block of Collins Avenue. Smoke from the plane's wreckage could be seen for miles.

Federal Aviation Administration officials said a single-engine Cessna carrying a pilot and two passengers were traveling northbound.

The plane lost power and landed on the bridge, hitting a SUV traveling southbound before catching fire, the Miami Dade Police Department said in a news release.

Once firefighters put out the flames, they discovered a deceased person inside the plane, the release said.

Two others in the plane were transported to area trauma centers and their conditions are unknown, police said.

A woman and two toddlers were inside the SUV and transported to a local hospital for medical evaluations.

The victim has been identified as 36-year-old Narciso Torres, a veteran air traffic controller who worked at the Miami Air Traffic Control Tower.
