Small aircraft crashes near Vehari, no casualties reported
Listen to article
A light aircraft crashed near the Ratta Tibba area of Punjab's Vehari district, but both pilots on board survived the incident, according to local authorities.
The aircraft went down near Anwar Abad, and police officials reported that both pilots successfully parachuted to safety before the crash. No injuries or fatalities were reported.
The cause of the crash has yet to be determined, and an investigation is expected to be carried out to assess technical or operational failures.
This is the second incident involving a light aircraft in the region recently, raising questions about flight safety protocols and aircraft maintenance in private aviation.
Emergency response teams were dispatched to the site, and authorities have secured the area for further examination.
Earlier, a Cessna 310 aircraft crashed onto Tri-Rail tracks near I-95 in Boca Raton, Florida, shortly after taking off from Boca Raton Airport en route to Tallahassee. All three people on board died, and one person on the ground was injured but is in stable condition.
The crash caused road and rail closures, including North Military Trail and the I-95 overpass at Glades Road, while Tri-Rail services were suspended, and a bus bridge was arranged for commuters.
Emergency crews responded quickly, with aerial footage showing wreckage and fire damage. One witness said the aircraft appeared to be in distress, possibly trying to return to the airport before crashing.
The FAA and NTSB are investigating the incident, focusing on flight path data, possible mechanical failure, and witness accounts. The investigation is ongoing.

Three killed as small plane crashes near I-95 in Boca Raton
Emergency personnel responded to a small plane crash near Interstate 95 in Boca Raton, Florida, US on April 11, 2025. Photo: CNN Listen to article Three people were killed and one injured after a small aircraft crashed onto Tri-Rail tracks near I-95 in Boca Raton, Florida, on Friday morning. The crash occurred around 10:20 am, shortly after the Cessna 310 departed Boca Raton Airport en route to Tallahassee International Airport, according to the FAA. Assistant Fire Chief Michael LaSalle confirmed that all three people on board the aircraft died in the crash. One person on the ground was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, possibly after driving through the resulting fireball. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Following the incident, Boca Raton Police closed North Military Trail between Northwest 19th Street and Butts Road. The I-95 overpass at Glades Road was also shut in both directions, and authorities are urging the public to avoid the area. Police said road closures could last for an extended period. Chopper footage showed debris scattered across the Tri-Rail tracks, with emergency crews and fire retardant visible at the crash site. A burnt-out vehicle was also spotted near a tree, though it remains unconfirmed if it's linked to the injured person. Tri-Rail service has been suspended in the area. A bus bridge is being arranged between Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton stations to assist affected commuters. Aviation expert Willard Shepard said a witness saw the plane shortly after takeoff and noted it appeared to be in distress, possibly attempting to return to the airport before crashing. Investigators will examine all factors, including mechanical issues and flight path data. One nearby office worker told CBS News he saw the plane flying unusually low before it disappeared below the treeline. 'There was a loud boom, the windows shook, and then a cloud of smoke and fire,' he recalled. Others said the impact felt like an earthquake, shaking nearby buildings. The investigation remains ongoing.
