Wild scenes from plane crashing into a car and injuring driver goes viral.
Drivers on a Florida interstate witnessed a terrifying moment when a plane crashed onto the roadway and slammed into a passing car, injuring the driver inside. It was the kind of scene no one ever expects to see on a normal day. One moment, traffic was moving as usual. The next moment, a plane was falling out of the sky.
The “fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft” crashed into a 2023 Toyota Camry in the southbound lane of I-95 in Cocoa, Fl. around 5:45 p.m. Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Shocking, up-close dashcam footage shows the plane diving into the busy rush-hour roadway and careening straight into the car while attempting an emergency landing.
The plane rear-ended the Camry and appeared to bounce on top of it before crashing down slightly to its left — sending sparks flying, according to the clip filmed from the car right behind the Camry.
Fortunately, the driver of the car survived, but had minor injuries as he was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The 57-year-old female Camry driver was taken to a local hospital and miraculously suffered only minor injuries, FHP authorities said.
The 27-year-old male pilot from Orlando and his 27-year-old male passenger from Temple Terrance were not injured during the freak crash, the officials added.
The pilot and passenger, who have not yet been named, remained on the scene, the FHP said.
“We just saw this plane drop out of the sky,” witness Jim Coffey told Spectrum News 13.
This crash is a reminder of how fast things can change. A normal drive became a nightmare in seconds. Life can be unpredictable, and moments like this force us to pause and appreciate the simple gift of making it home safely.
