Wild video shows a small plane hitting a Texas runway during an emergency landing — rolling straight onto the road and smashing into a passing car.
Footage captured at Aero County Airport in McKinney on Saturday showed a single-engine plane crashing through a metal fence at the end of the runway and then hitting a silver sedan driven by a woman on Virginia Parkway.
“I saw the plane come down the runway so fast, I knew he wasn’t going to have time to stop,” Jack Schneider, the co-pilot who filmed the crash, told WFAA.
“It was obviously going too fast, the tires were smoking.”
Local driver Shadi Hiwiadi noted that while drivers “check your left, you check your right, you don’t check, even.”
“Yeah, it’s crazy,” another viewer, Youssef Moustafa, told the outlet.
“He tried to land, and the brakes didn’t work and he went through the fence,” he said of the out-of-control pilot.
McKinney Fire Department paramedics examined the two passengers on the plane and the driver of the car, who were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.jackschneider17/Instagram
The McKinney Fire Department said there were two people on board the plane. Both were examined along with the driver, who was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
“He must have been shocked, it’s not something you expect to happen to you,” said Schneider, the pilot who filmed the crash. “We’re all thankful that no one was seriously injured,” he said of the terrifying scene.
None of those involved have been identified.
