Small plane crash-lands on Miramar elementary school property
A small plane crash-landed on the property of a Miramar elementary school Wednesday afternoon, officials say. No one was injured. About 1 p.m., a single-engine Piper Cherokee took off from North Perry Airport, according to FlightAware. A few minutes later, it landed in a field west of Coconut Palm Elementary on Monarch Lakes Boulevard, according to Miramar Fire Rescue. The plane was damaged, but the two people on board extricated themselves and said they had no injuries. No structures were involved or damaged. ' … while on school property it is set back and did not impact the school from continuing normal operations at this time,' said Miramar Fire Rescue spokesperson Tara Smith. The school itself was not placed on lockdown, said Janice McIntosh, a spokesperson for Miramar Police. Miramar Police and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating. Officials did not say where the plane was heading when it crashed. Most of its previous flights took off from North Perry, many of them returning to North Perry a short while later, according to FlightAware. The plane is owned by a company called N3055B LLC, based in Delaware, according to FAA records. Miramar has been the site of several small plane crashes over the years, due to its proximity to North Perry Airport, one of Florida's busiest general aviation airports.
