A small plane crashed in Boca Raton Friday morning, killing the three people on board and leaving a man who was in a vehicle on the ground injured, officials said.
The crash happened in the area of Military Trail and Glades Road, not far from Boca Raton Airport and Interstate 95.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane, a Cessna 310 carrying three people, went down around 10:20 a.m. after departing from Boca Raton Airport on its way to Tallahassee International Airport.
Boca Raton Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Michael LaSalle said the three people who were on the aircraft were killed and a man who was in a vehicle on the ground was injured. He suffered non-life threatening injuries.

“According to reports, the doomed plane declared an emergency to air traffic control about a problem with the rudder. The plane tried to burn fuel by circling around before crashing.”
FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF THE PLANE???
Not so bizarre if reports of a failed rudder are correct. He was trying to get lines up with the runway. Unfortunately it looks like he didn’t quite make it.
Looks like my wife was driving. But she doesn’t do it in airplanes.
From the looks of the flight path I’d say the plane was having control problems.
She just sets the autopilot
No rudder control.
“Another tech lord?”
Maybe he was an RNC advisor?
Not in ancient 310
Rudder Control could Be Extremely Dangerous-—
I’m asking a Pilot.
Uhhhhhh…..LACK of rudder control is extremely dangerous .
