An Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 cargo jet overran Runway 30 at Miami International Airport (MIA) on Sunday afternoon, crashing near the airport perimeter and striking multiple vehicles — including what eyewitnesses and initial reports describe as Tesla Cybercabs parked in the area. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed multiple injuries; fatalities have not been officially ruled out. This is an active, developing situation.
What Happened
According to multiple reports, Amazon Prime Air Flight 7598 — a Boeing 767-300F registered N1997A and operated under 21 Air's certificate — departed Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and landed at MIA around 2:00 p.m. EDT on September 6, 2026. The aircraft failed to stop on the runway, overrunning Runway 30, crossing the airport perimeter road and NW 67th Avenue, and coming to rest in an adjacent field near the 2100 block of Northwest 42nd Avenue.
Heavy black smoke and apparent flames were visible at the crash site in footage circulating online. The FAA issued a ground stop for MIA effective approximately 2:02 p.m. EDT, and all runways and taxiways at the airport were subsequently closed.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed the plane struck multiple vehicles during the excursion. Initial reports from the scene — including a post from @TeslaNewswire — indicate that Tesla vehicles, including Cybercabs, were among those parked in the vicinity of the crash. Official confirmation of the specific vehicle types involved has not yet been issued by authorities. One unconfirmed first-responder communication referenced multiple fatalities, though it was unclear whether those involved flight crew or individuals on the ground. No official fatality count has been confirmed at time of publication.
If You Have a Tesla Parked at MIA Right Now
If you dropped a vehicle — including a Cybercab — at or near Miami International Airport today, here are the immediate steps to take:
- Do not attempt to retrieve your vehicle. MIA has closed all runways and taxiways. The perimeter road near NW 67th Avenue is an active emergency scene. Law enforcement and fire rescue are controlling access.
- Check your Tesla app. Open the Tesla app and verify your vehicle's last known location. If your car is in the affected zone near the 2100 block of NW 42nd Avenue, screenshot the location data now — you may need it for insurance or law enforcement documentation.
- Contact MIA directly. Miami International Airport's main line is (305) 876-7000. For emergencies involving property at the airport, ask to be directed to the Airport Operations Center.
- File an incident report with your insurer. If your vehicle may have been struck or damaged, contact your auto insurance provider immediately to open a claim. Document everything: app screenshots, location history, any Tesla app alerts.
- Monitor Tesla's official channels. If Cybercabs operating in the area were affected, Tesla may issue a statement or reach out to fleet operators directly. Watch the Tesla app and your registered email for any communications.
- For Cybercab fleet operators specifically: Cross-reference your fleet management dashboard for any vehicles assigned to the MIA area during the 1:30–2:30 p.m. EDT window. Pull trip logs and flag any units that went offline or stopped reporting.
What Remains Unconfirmed
This story is moving fast and several key details are still unverified. The specific number of Tesla vehicles struck has not been confirmed by official sources. The presence of Cybercabs at the scene comes from social media reports and @TeslaNewswire — Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's public statements referenced only 'multiple vehicles' without specifying make or model. Injury and fatality counts remain fluid; official figures had not been released as of this article's publication.
We will update this article as Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the FAA, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) — which will lead the formal investigation — release confirmed information. For the latest official updates, monitor the FAA and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's public communications channels.
