Small plane crash-lands in a field at Florida elementary school, police say

MIAMI -- A small plane made an emergency landing on a field at a Miramar elementary school Wednesday afternoon, police say.

The plane went down around 1:10 p.m. on the west side of Coconut Palm Elementary school, located at 13601 Monarch Lane, said Janice McIntosh, a spokeswoman with Miramar police.

It clipped the fence of the school's playground, missing two portable buildings before stopping at the perimeter of the play field's fence, McIntosh said.

Two people were on board and declined medical assistance from Miramar Fire Rescue paramedics, McIntosh said.

No one on the ground was injured and the school was not placed on lockdown, according to police.

The plane is a single-engine Piper that is registered to a limited liability corporation in Wilmington, Delaware, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.

WSVN 7 News reported the plane involved in this crash was the same that performed an emergency landing in 2022 at North Perry Airport.
