NTSB confirms five killed were inside two vehicles struck by Amazon Air plane
The five people killed in Sunday’s Amazon Air cargo plane crash were in two vehicles struck by the aircraft, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said Monday that seven people were inside a 2012 Ford Econoline van when it was struck by the Boeing 767 after the plane overran Runway 30 at Miami International Airport . The van was owned by Professional Ocean Service Corporation , a contract cleaning company for the airlines, Homendy said. The aircraft then traveled through a perimeter fence and struck a Toyota Corolla Cross LE traveling on Northwest 67th Avenue before continuing into a grassy area. Homendy confirmed the victims were limited to those two vehicles — the cleaning company van and the passenger vehicle.
