A plane carrying nine people nosedived into a South Florida neighbourhood on Sunday and erupted into a giant fireball that appeared to just miss homes before crashing near a busy roadway, creating a giant fiery crater in the pavement.

It was not immediately known if anyone on the Learjet 60 or on the ground in the Palm Beach County neighbourhood was injured or killed.

The aircraft had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to the Bahamas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Authorities did not immediately say what caused the plane to go down or who was on it.
