What we know so far is the flight was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico with two crew members on board. This was the third flight for the aircraft, that aircraft that yesterday went from Cincinnati to Miami, Miami to San Juan, and San Juan back to Miami. Overran runway three zero on landing, struck navigational aids and equipment, then impacted a 2012 white Ford Econoline van that was owned by Professional Ocean Service Corporation, which is a contract cleaning company for the airlines. In the van were seven persons on board. The aircraft then traveled through a perimeter fence and impacted a Toyota Corolla Cross LE.

In total, it was about 1300 feet past the paved surface.

Three people remain in critical condition, two others hospitalized with less severe injuries. The only two people aboard the plane, the pilot and co-pilot, both survived, although it is unclear if they were injured in the crash, according to the New York Times.

Fire officials explaining the scene they arrived to on Sunday.

What we found was a very complex situation here.

As you may have seen or may have heard, the airplane did strike a couple of vehicles that required a couple of victims that were actually trapped in the vehicles. So a complex extrication with our technical rescue teams started to occur. In addition to that, we had a very complex fire. Engine compartments that were on fire, including a search and rescue of the pilot and co-pilot that were trapped in this aircraft.

Video of the landing appeared to show the plane staying airborne well past the normal touchdown area, raising questions about why pilots did not attempt a second landing. NTSB investigators are examining the weather conditions and the plane's speed, brakes and mechanical history, including the fact that the 32-year-old jet had passed through several previous owners before being converted from passenger to cargo use in 2015
