A small turboprop plane bound for Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission crashed into a pond in a residential area of the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Coral Springs on Monday morning, minutes after takeoff, authorities said.

A fire official told The Associated Press no victims were located during rescue efforts and they said the search had become a recovery effort. It wasn’t immediately known how many persons were aboard. Aerial TV footage from local media outlets showed a broken fence in the backyard of one home bordering the pond near where the plane went down.
