Miami, Florida - An Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway as it landed Sunday in Miami, crashing into vehicles and catching fire, officials said, noting in an update that at least five people have died and five are injured.

Video showed thick smoke billowing from the blue and white Boeing 767 that had arrived around 2 PM from Puerto Rico, as fire trucks raced to the scene.

The incident was initially reported by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Miami International Airport.

At least five people were killed and five more injured when an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday and crashed into several vehicles, officials said.

Miami Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said there is "no apparent threat to public safety" from the incident, but there are "at least five deceased individuals" at the scene.

Miami-Dade County fire chief Ray Jadallah told reporters that in addition to five fatalities, three people were transported to trauma centers "in critical condition" and two more were treated at a local hospital.

"The airplane did strike a couple of vehicles," which left "a couple of victims that were actually trapped in the vehicles," Jadallah said.

"A complex extrication with our technical rescue team" was needed, "including a search and rescue of the pilot and co-pilot that were trapped in this aircraft."

Jadallah did not clarify whether the pilot or co-pilot survived, and officials declined to answer questions after brief statements were made.

The Miami-Dade Fire Department originally said the plane operating as Prime Air Flight 7598 caught fire as a result of what it called a crash.

The fire department said the plane overran a runway and hit multiple vehicles near the airport, where more than 60 firefighting units rushed to the scene.

The airport said all its runways and taxiways had to be shut down because of the accident.

Amazon put out a statement saying the aircraft "experienced an incident while attempting to land." It did not say if anyone was hurt or killed.

"This is a fast-moving situation and we're still gathering details. We're working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened," Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in the statement.

The FAA said on Sunday that it will investigate the crash that occurred.

Numerous X users posted snippets of what they claim to be the crash. The snippets were taken from a livestream of the runway at the Miami Airport.
