Summary
8:30 a.m. Sunday, Fronte Crane Service began lifting a small plane from the Silver Palm Park boat ramp after the aircraft crashed into the water off South Beach Park in Boca Raton a day earlier.
The FAA is leading the investigation, and the cause remains unknown after witnesses said they saw the plane flying very low before it went down.
The female pilot — the plane’s sole occupant — was taken to a hospital as a precaution and is expected to fully recover.
Photos from Saturday’s crash and the wreckage at Silver Palm Park showed matching tail numbers, though Boca Raton police said at the scene they could not independently confirm it was the same aircraft.
