Two people were killed when a small plane headed to Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission crashed into a Coral Springs neighborhood pond Monday morning, scattering debris across backyards, Broward County officials said.

The crash happened at about 10:20 a.m. in the 5000 block of NW 57th Way, according to the Coral Springs Police Department. 

Video from CBS Miami Chopper 4 shows the plane damaged the fence and trees in the backyard of a home, before crashing into a man-made pond. 

According to a spokesperson at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, the Beechcraft King Air twin-turboprop plane took off from the airport at about 10:14 a.m. en route to Jamaica for relief efforts following Hurricane Melissa.

Crews closed Creekside Drive, from NW 66th Terrace to NW 53rd Drive, as they worked to clear the scene. Drivers were asked to avoid the area. 

Coral Springs Police also warned that it may take some time for the smell of fuel to dissipate and asked if any residents have located debris to call the department at 954-344-1800. 

"We appreciate the patience and understanding of the community throughout this investigation," Coral Springs Police said in a statement.  

The department said a large police presence will remain as it is working closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Broward Sheriff's Office to collect evidence and investigate the crash. 

Audio captures chaotic moments after Coral Springs plane crash

Emergency dispatch recordings revealed the frantic early moments after the small plane went down in Coral Springs, with first responders describing what sounded like an explosion, debris, and the smell of fuel across the neighborhood. 

"We are getting reports of a plane crash… many, many reports," one dispatcher said according to the transmission on Broadcastify. Moments later, another voice adds, "Sounds like an explosion east of our station."

Crews noted the smell of fuel, air bubbles rising from the water, and fluids leaking into nearby yards and pools.

As responders began their search, one chilling transmission came through: "I have a body part in the roadway… we are finding body parts."

Another unit later reported applying foam to a residential pool "filled up with fuel" as the FAA was notified and investigators began arriving at the scene.

It's not yet known how many people were on board, how many may be injured, or what their conditions are.

Witnesses describe devastating plane crash

Josh Quilton lives in Windsor Bay development. He said he watched the plane struggling to stay in the air before it crashed shortly before 11 a.m.

"I was like, 'Oh, that plane is like — I don't think it's allowed to be that low,'" said Quilton. "I turned around to go in the house, and I just heard 'doosh!'"

"I heard like acceleration, and it kept accelerating, accelerating and then I heard a big boom," another witness said.

"I don't think that was God's plan," Quilton said. "Like, I don't know what's going on, because they're going to do something good and rest in peace to those people. That's sad."
