Five others were injured. Three of those people remain hospitalized, with two of them in critical condition. The two pilots were treated and released, the sheriff said.
Amazon Air Flight 7598 was traveling from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on its third flight of the day, when it tried landing at the Miami airport.

The jet overshot the runway by at least 1,300 feet beyond the paved surface and crashed into multiple vehicles, including a 2012 white Ford Econoline van with passengers inside, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said during a Monday press conference.
The aircraft then crashed through the airport perimeter and struck a civilian vehicle, a Toyota Corolla Cross LE.
The plane then "continued into the grass and impacted another fence line, which separated an area where Tesla robotaxis were stationed," Homendy said.
All the victims were inside the vehicles, she said.
Homicide detectives with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office are investigating the deaths, Cordero-Stutz said.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
