## Summary

A Learjet 60 crashed into a road in a Florida neighbourhood, killing all nine people aboard. No one on the ground was reported hurt, but the crash caused major damage and prompted evacuations; investigators are working to establish what happened.

The aircraft had left Austin, Texas, for the Bahamas and crashed near Cresthaven at about 12:50 local time.

About 600 residents were evacuated, water lines were damaged and officials said the road could remain closed for at least 30 days.
