CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A small 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. <\/p>\n

Authorities told The Associated Press no victims were located during rescue efforts and they said the search had become a recovery effort.<\/p>\n

Broward County, where the plane took off from and where the crash occurred, is home to a vibrant Caribbean American community that sprang into action<\/a> to collect relief supplies following Hurricane Melissa. A fierce Category 5 hurricane, Melissa slammed into Jamaica late last month, leaving a path of destruction. <\/p>\n

Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department Deputy Chief Mike Moser said crews responded within minutes of a call reporting the crash. No homes were damaged, but rescue workers did spot some debris near a neighborhood retention pond, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no actual plane to be seen,\u201d Moser said. \u201cThey followed the debris trail to the water. We had divers that entered the water and tried to search for any victims and didn\u2019t find any.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moser said rescue efforts concluded without finding any victims. He said police would take over recovery efforts, and federal aviation officials would investigate the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n

Coral Springs police didn\u2019t immediately respond to calls and emails from AP. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A small plane bound for Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission crashed into a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2206,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[27723,1111,249,251,250,477,12864,21427,27433,1110],"class_list":["post-41798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-27723","tag-article","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-general-news","tag-hurricane-melissa","tag-hurricanes-and-typhoons","tag-plane-crashes","tag-u-s-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
