NAPLES — The tail of a Challenger 604 jet — the only recognizable debris of a crash that killed two people Friday afternoon — was still on I75 southbound Saturday evening.
“I was actually in the lane that the accident happened,” Kyle Cavalier, a witness of the tragedy, told CBS News Miami. “I was 40 or 50 feet behind that white truck the plane landed on.”
Cavalier got out of his car and ran toward the scene while recording with his cell phone the moment survivors ran away from the plane.
“I started running over to them to make sure I could give any kind of assistance to them that they needed. I asked them if there were any other survivors, anybody still alive in the plane and they said no, they told me they were passengers but two pilots were still on the plane,” said Cavalier.
Investigators said five people were on board the jet two died and three escaped.
On Saturday, the National Transportation Safety Board reiterated there is an investigation into the crash of the Bombardier Challenger 600, through a statement they said:
