Five people killed when an Amazon cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport have been named by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Rolando Aleman Leon, 55, Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53, Julio C. Pineda, 75, Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53, and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47, died when the aircraft struck vehicles after coming off the runway on Sunday, 6 September.
National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy said all five victims had been travelling in the vehicles hit by the Boeing 767, rather than being on board the aircraft. The plane was operated by 21 Air on behalf of Amazon Air. ([ntsb.gov](https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA26MA352.aspx))
Victims were in vehicles struck by Amazon cargo plane
The aircraft, Amazon Air Flight 7598, had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was completing its third flight of the day after travelling from Cincinnati to Miami and then to San Juan.
It overran runway 30 while landing, hit airport navigational equipment and crashed into a white Ford Econoline van belonging to Professional Ocean Service Corporation, an airline-cleaning contractor. Seven people were inside the van.
The plane then broke through a perimeter fence and struck a Toyota Corolla Cross travelling on Northwest 67 Avenue before crossing grass and hitting another fence near an area where Tesla robotaxis were stationed. It travelled about 1,300 feet beyond the paved runway. ([cbsnews.com](https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/amazon-cargo-plane-crash-miami-ntsb-investigation-9-7-2026/?intcid=CNR-01-0623))
The five people injured in the crash were identified as Eugenio Corredor, 79, Ridoel Averhoff Diaz, 32, Roosevelt Sebastian Perdomo Torres, 36, Jaime Felipe Silva Molina, 37, and Joseph Caroll, 55.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said the aircraft’s pilot and co-pilot had been treated and released from hospital. Three other injured people remained in hospital, including two in critical condition. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/6c23909e94ea2faedd28071749fc00e3))

The NTSB investigation remains ongoing. Amazon said it was working with local authorities and 21 Air, and would co-operate fully with the inquiry. ([aboutamazon.com](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-21-air-miami-updates))
