Small plane crashes in Florida

FLORIDA, United States — A small aircraft reportedly crashed in Boca Raton, Florida on Friday, near a major interstate highway and railroad tracks.

According to a USA Today report, officials said there were multiple road closures near I-95 and Glades Road and advised locals to avoid the area.
