Officials said the twin-engine plane was on a flight from Daytona to Lakeland at about 8:30 a.m. when it crashed into the homes at the Preserve at Lake Monroe subdivision in Sanford.

"(The pilot) was coming in at a bank like he was trying to make a turn and he went straight down into the houses," a witness said at the scene.

Family Critically Burned


A woman, her husband and their 10-year-old son were burned and critically injured when the plane slammed into their home.

Witnesses told Local 6 News that the boy was on fire and running around.

A fire investigator with the Sanford Fire Department said the boy had burns over 80 to 90 percent of his body.

"The other four people who live next door, (at a home) which was also impacted by the plane crash, well, their whereabouts are unknown," Local 6's Laura Diaz said.

Local 6 reported that the family was likely away from the house when the plane crashed, but police did not confirm the report.

A 4-year-old boy remained unaccounted for, Local 6 reported.

Witnesses said the plane was trying to land at Orlando Sanford International Airport when it crashed about 1 mile north of the airport, Bergen said.

Plane Left NASCAR Hangar

The plane was registered to Competition Liaison Bureau Inc. of Daytona Beach. Local 6 said the company has connections to NASCAR.


Local 6's Tarik Minor said the plane took off from a NASCAR hangar.

Also, a Lake Mary firefighter was injured while trying to extinguish flames at the crash scene.

The neighborhood where the plane crashed was evacuated because of explosions.

NASCAR hangar? So maybe the people in the plane were drivers?

This whole thing just sucks so bad, one of the people in the plane Dr. Bruce Kennedy
repaired two of my fingers and was nice, humble, and incredibly skilled. He would
routinely do procedures on people who had no money or insurance..

Yea, I used to cut meat and it's fairly common to get cut once in awhile. He repaired the
tendons on two of my fingers and both came out perfect..
