The incident occurred in the southbound lanes of Interstate 75, near mile marker 107, in Collier County, according to a Friday afternoon statement from the Florida Highway Patrol. Footage at the scene showed what looked like wreckage that had smoke billowing from it on the interstate. Dozens of emergency vehicles with lights on were on scene.

Two people were killed in the incident, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office. It was not immediately known if the deceased were on board the plane, the sheriff’s office said.

It was also unknown if anyone else was seriously injured in the crash.

No one with the highway patrol could be immediately reached for comment.

The incident occurred about 3:15 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration, which said the plane is a Bombardier Challenger 600 jet.

The plane, that was traveling from Ohio, reportedly lost both engines, according to NBC affiliate WBBH of Fort Myers. The jet had been scheduled to leave Naples and head to Fort Lauderdale, the news outlet reported.
