A stretch of Interstate 75 in Southwest Florida reopened on the night of Feb. 11, 2024, more than 48 hours after a small private jet crashed onto the roadway, killing two. According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, 50-year-old Edward Daniel Murphy of Oakland Park, Florida, was the pilot of the Bombardier Challenger 600 jet. He and his co-pilot, 65-year-old Ian Frederick Hofmann of Pompano Beach, Florida, perished when they attempted to make an emergency landing on I-75 near Naples, Florida on Feb. 9, 2024. A crewmember, 23-year-old Sydney Ann Bosmans of Jupiter, Florida, and two passengers, 35-year-old Aaron Baker and 23-year-old Audra Green — both from Columbus, Ohio, — survived the crash, the sheriff's office said. They were taken to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries. Dashcam video captured the moment the plane plummeted to the ground and erupted into flames. FULL STORY:
