MIAMI, 07 September, 2026 (Ghufran): At least five people were killed and five others injured when an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overran a runway and crashed while landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, striking several vehicles and catching fire. Prime Air Flight 7598 overran the airport’s diagonal runway shortly before 2pm local time after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Boeing 767-300 came to rest near the northwest end of the airport after hitting multiple vehicles on the ground. Officials said three of the five injured people were in critical condition. More than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units rushed to the scene after the aircraft caught fire, while firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze and emergency crews assessed and treated those affected. The aircraft, operated by North Carolina-based cargo carrier 21 Air on behalf of Amazon, had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built as a passenger aircraft and was later converted into a freighter in 2015, according to flight-tracking data cited by the Associated Press. Miami International Airport shut all runways and taxiways following the crash, while authorities imposed a ground stop on flights. Hundreds of flights were delayed and dozens cancelled, with officials warning passengers to expect significant disruption. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said travellers should expect significant delays and potential cancellations following the crash. Amazon said it was working with local authorities to determine what happened and that the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved remained its “absolute priority.” The FAA said it would investigate the crash, while the National Transportation Safety Board began gathering information at the scene. The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
