One plane crashed about 9:30 a.m. next to a shopping center in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Miramar, police said. Another plane crashed in a Wesley Chapel backyard, north of Tampa, around 11:30 a.m., according to Pasco County Fire Rescue. The Miramar plane belongs to Wayman Aviation Academy, which told the Miami Herald that the plane was carrying an advanced student and a teacher. Officials didn't immediately release many details about the Wesley Chapel crash.

The Sheriff’s Office, which received dozens of 911 calls about the crash that happened just before 10 a.m., asked people to avoid the area around SW Creekside Lane. Daniel Kosciow, a neighbor, said he heard the crash and ran to try and help. I ran over and saw the plane on fire, and it was a ball of fire,” Kosciow said. The crash happened less than a half-mile north of the Cannon Creek Airpark, a neighborhood with a landing strip for pilots living in or visiting the community, which is where the NTSB said the plane had taken off from. The pilot was taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Jacksonville.
