Miami International Airport is under a ground stop on Sunday afternoon after officials said an Amazon cargo plane overran the runway and hit multiple vehicles, impacting several patients.
The Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSSC), part of the FAA, issued the ground stop around 2:30 p.m. All departure facilities were impacted, and the advisory indicated that the ground stop could be extended.
The FAA later released a statement confirming that a Boeing 767-300 that departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, was involved. The agency said it was now investigating. Miami-Dade Aviation confirmed it was a Prime Air plane and that it overran the airport's diagonal runway.
The plane is now disabled at the northwest end of the airport, Miami-Dade Aviation said.
No arrivals or departures are happening as of 2:56 p.m. Miami-Dade Aviation said all runways and taxiways are closed, and that Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) has responded. Questions about injuries were directed to MDFR.
MDFR said the plane hit several vehicles near the 2100 block of Northwest 42nd Avenue. The plane caught fire, and firefighters are now working to douse the flames. Multiple patients were confirmed, and MDFR said more than 60 of its units were responding.
It's not immediately clear how many people were injured. Sean Duffy, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, shared a brief statement on X, advising travelers of possible delays and cancelations.
