A plane crash at Lake Weir is currently under investigation by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office made a public announcement just after 1:10 p.m. today about the investigation through its Facebook page:
“Marion County Sheriff’s Office has responded to a small plane that has crashed into Lake Weir (the lake).”
The sheriff’s office advises all motorists and pedestrians to avoid the area.
“We will give updates as they become available,” reads the post.
