A Christian missionary and his daughter were killed Monday morning when their small plane, loaded with hurricane relief supplies bound for Jamaica, crashed into a pond in a South Florida neighborhood.
According to The Associated Press, Ignite the Fire Ministries identified the victims as its founder, Alexander Wurm, 53, and his daughter Serena Wurm, 22. The pair were on a humanitarian mission to deliver aid to communities devastated by Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that struck Jamaica late last month.
The Beechcraft King Air went down shortly after taking off from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport around 10:14 a.m., according to authorities.
The aircraft crashed in a residential area of Coral Springs, narrowly missing several homes before plunging into a pond.
