Fire and rescue services said the light aircraft suffered “major damage” after colliding with the car

Seven people have been injured after a small plane clipped a tree before crashing into a car in Florida. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said the Orlican M8 Eagle eventually came to rest in a nearby park. The Federal Aviation Administration said two people were aboard the single-engine plane, per ABC News, while WPTV reports four of the people injured were children. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said in a statement that the plane “skimmed the top of a passenger car as it was coming down. The plane suffered major damage, while the passenger car had minor damage on its roof. Everybody was able to exit from both the aircraft and the car prior to PBCFR arriving on the scene. The people in the passenger car were transported to a local hospital for evaluation.” Two more people were taken to a trauma center, responders said. The fire services added that there was no major fuel leak and no fire, noting investigations were due to be carried out by both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
