This was taken from the CBS channel 4 in Miami website.

The crash happened around 8 a.m. when the plane, a Beech Aircraft BE 18 with tail number N18R, slammed through a fence into the side yard of a home in the neighborhood in the area of NW 37th Court and NW 157th Street. The plane stopped less than 10 feet way from the residence.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board the pilot, who had taken off from Opa-Locka Airport bound for the Bahamas with a load of house furnishings, made one transmission to the tower to say that he was having difficulty.

I love those old Beeches. I remember when I worked at Sundorph for a short time fueling them everyday.
