An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday before striking multiple vehicles and erupting into a blaze, officials said.

It was initially unclear whether anyone was injured in the crash. Videos from the scene show thick black smoke rising from the plane and a fire.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said that firefighters were “working on extinguishing the fire and assessing patients.”

The plane took off from Puerto Rico at noon and reached Miami around 2 p.m., according to data from Flight Aware, a plane tracking service.

The crash prompted airport officials to close all runways and put a ground stop in place, officials said.

A representative from Amazon did not immediately return a request for comment Sunday.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
