A Maverick flying car crashed and caught on fire Tuesday after taking off from Dunnellon airport in Marion County, Florida, leaving two people with minor injuries.

The $94,000 vehicle, which uses a parachute to fly, was created by the Indigenous Peoples' Technology and Education Center (I-TEC), a nonprofit group looking to "provide tools and technologies to God-followers in frontiers areas to meet their needs," according to CNET.

The Maverick was said to have a Federal Aviation Administration (FFA) registry number, despite Marion County police saying on Facebook that a response will not be given by the FAA or the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) since they don't view the car as an aircraft.

Authorities originally believed the flying car was an Aeromobil flying car, but later re-identified it as a Maverick, Gizmodo reported.

"This homemade vehicle managed to make flight with two people inside, but then crashed and caught fire," the Marion County Sheriff's Office wrote in an email.

Troy Townsend, one of the developers of the Maverick, said in a YouTube video posted several weeks ago that I-TEC has displayed the vehicle at various shows over the summer, CNET reported.

The flying car has had accidents before, having crashed into an elementary schoolyard in Vernon, British Columbia in May, resulting in minor injuries for the two men in the car. The two men in the Marion County crash have not been named.
