A plane en route from Palm Coast to Vero Beach crashed into the ocean the evening of Sunday, June 1 in Indian River County. The pilot and two passengers were rescued by first responders after Indian River County Sheriff’s Office helicopters detected heat signatures in the water.

A team of firefighter paramedics with the Indian River County Fire Rescue helped get the three victims of a plane crash Sunday night to safety, some literally jumping into the water to assist them onto their boat.
