A major traffic incident occurred on Thursday morning on the Florida Turnpike in Miami-Dade County when a tractor-trailer was involved in a fiery rollover crash, leading to severe traffic disruptions and road closures. The Florida Highway Patrol reported that the driver of the tractor-trailer lost control near I-75 and collided with seven other vehicles. In a separate but related incident, a small plane crashed onto Interstate 75 near exit 107 (pine ridge road) in Florida after a reported dual engine failure while on approach to Naples airport. The plane, identified as a corporate Bombardier Challenger with the tail number N823KD, was carrying five people and had taken off from Columbus, Ohio State University. It collided with a pickup truck during an emergency landing, resulting in at least two fatalities and causing a massive fire and black smoke. The FAA confirmed the plane was flying in from Ohio, and the section of I-75 where the crash occurred would be closed for at least 24 hours.
