An Indian girl Nisha Sejwal, 19-year-old, was among three people killed when two training aircraft's, from a flight school, clashed midair on Tuesday in Florida, United States.

According to a report, the Federal Aviation Administration said the two small airplanes probably piloted by trainers smashed into each other over the Florida Everglades near Miami.

Miami Dade County Mayor said that the two aircraft's- Piper PA-34 and Cessna 172 belonged to Dean International, a flight school in Miami that has a history of more than two dozen incidents and accidents in the decade between 2007 and 2017.

Police confirmed at least three deaths and are investigating whether a fourth person was killed. Police identified the three victims as Nisha Sejwal from India, the 22-year-old Jorge Sanchez, and the 72-year-old Ralph Knight.

The Indian girl had listed in flight school in September 2017, according to her Facebook page. The debris of the crashed planes was located in a region only approachable by airboats.

At the part of one small plane, two of victims were discovered whereas a third was found near the crash site of the second aircraft.

"Preliminary information that is coming into our homicide detectives is that the two planes were possibly training, which leads us to believe that you have a pilot and a trainer or trainer and a student, and in another plane a trainer and student," Miami-Dade police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said.

The search and rescue effort was suspended on Tuesday due to the low visibility.

Daniel Miralles, a witness, who was fishing in a canal near the airdrome, said he looked up in the instance to see the planes collide and record video of falling debris on his cell. "I heard a weird sound. It sounded like a plane, but it sounded too close. It sounded like an 18-wheeler going 100 mph down the street," said Miralles.
