A communications tower standing in its path was taken out by the plane, WSVN reported. Some flights were reportedly delayed as a result of the crash.
Miami-Dade Fire responded to the scene and extinguished the fire. Fire officials said they were mitigating fuel spillage.
Videos shared online showed fire officials on the tarmac battling the flames. TV news images showed the plane appeared to have come to rest in grass beside the runway and it and a large area around it were apparently doused with firefighters' chemicals.
