First responders are at the scene of a jet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a Learjet 60 crashed in a residential area near Cresthaven at around 12:50 p.m. Sunday.
It was unclear if anyone on the ground was hurt. There were no details yet on whether anyone on board survived.
Video of the crash showed the aircraft nose-diving from the sky and then erupting into a giant ball of flames near a major roadway, only inches from passing vehicles. The crash left a giant crater in the pavement with flames leaping up from it near a utility pole.
Chunks of pavement are seen in the footage engulfed in fire as people milled about, expressing shock it landed only feet from homes. Black smoke billowed out of the hole, wafting past palm trees swaying on the stormy day.
The aircraft took off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, the FAA said.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and the FAA were contacted for additional information.
This is a developing story and will be updated as information becomes available.
