Three people, including a young boy, have died after a small aircraft plunged from the sky and collided with a family car just outside an airport in Florida.
Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue said the crash occurred shortly after the Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft took off from the nearby North Perry Airport.
The incident was captured on a neighbour's security camera. The plane is seen colliding with an SUV that was driving down the road, before skidding and stopping at a barricade. The plane then bursts into flames with the fire quickly spreading across the road.
The dark coloured car is not visible after the crash in the surveillance video, but aerial footage captured later shows it burnt out and wrecked at the side of the road near a tree, according to local media.

Police say two people were on board the plane at the time. Both died at the scene.
A woman and boy were inside the SUV. Both were taken to the hospital where the boy died.
"We heard like a bomb, like a tremendous noise and we went outside and everything was on fire, everything was bad," witness Annabel Fernandez told NBC Miami and CBS Miami.
"It was a mother with her kid and we don't know what happened to them. The fire rescue came and they got them."
