Boca Raton Plane Crash Today Small Aircraft Bursts Into Flames Near Busy Intersection Latest Updates Boca Raton FL April 11, 2025 A small aircraft crashed near a busy intersection in Boca Raton on Friday morning causing a fiery wreck and prompting a rapid emergency response that brought local traffic to a standstill. The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. near North Military Trail between NW 19th Street and Butts Road just outside the Boca Raton Airport and within close proximity of the heavily traveled I-95 corridor. Eyewitnesses reported a loud zooming sound moments before the crash followed by a massive boom and thick black smoke billowing into the sky. “I was working in my office when I heard this loud roar. The whole building shook” said Cynthia Morales a local real estate agent whose office is just a block away from the crash site. We looked out the window and saw smoke rising. It was terrifying. The aircraft identified by local authorities as a single engine private plane reportedly experienced engine trouble shortly after takeoff from Boca Raton Airport. Preliminary reports suggest the pilot attempted to return to the airport but was unable to maintain altitude. The plane clipped a power line before crashing onto a stretch of grass near the intersection. Upon impact the aircraft burst into flames, drawing the attention of dozens of bystanders and causing panic in the area. Cellphone footage shared online shows thick smoke engulfing the wreckage as firefighters rushed to the scene. Boca Raton Fire Rescue arrived within minutes quickly extinguishing the fire and securing the area. One person presumed to be the pilot was airlifted to a local trauma center. Authorities have not released the individual’s name or condition as of this writing.
