An Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, pausing flights at the busy travel hub as plumes of black smoke could be seen pouring from the disabled plane.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said the aircraft overran the runway at about 2 p.m. local time after heading into Florida from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

All runways and taxiways were closed and a ground stop is in effect, an airport spokesperson said. The Prime Air plane is disabled at the northwest end of the airport.

The plane came to rest beside a roadway, with two semi-trucks parked nearby, according to images on social media.
