A Ring door camera caught the afternoon crash on camera, which shows the plane nose-diving into an SUV as a woman drove down a residential street in Pembroke Pines. The plane tumbled over bursts into flames, leaving a trail of fire and smoke. Officials said it also took out a power line. You can watch the video here.

The two people onboard the plane died in the crash, officials confirmed.

The boy's mother was injured and able to get out the vehicle, according to authorities. She also tried to free her trapped son from the SUV, and firefighters were able to get the child out, Pembroke Pines Fire Chief Marcel Rodriguez said. Both of them were taken to the hospital, but the boy died later that night, NBC 6 learned.

A nearby neighbor told reporters he called 911 after witnessing the crash.

"All I see is some large black smoke and like a huge fire coming right there at the fence," Salah Elshaer said. "The car literally looked like it's in half." The resident said there have been five plane crashes in the area since last May. The neighborhood sits near North Perry Airport.

"This is something that has happened multiple times and it's just shocking how they just haven't fixed what’s going on. This is not normal for all these airplanes to come crash down," Elshaer said. "What if I’m home and an airplane were to come and hit the house, what would happen to me?"

The 4-year-old child was identified as Taylor Bishop, according to NBC 6. The names of the other two victims have not been released.

The roadway near the crash site remains closed as of Tuesday morning (March 16), police said. They expect it to reopen by the afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
