Watch as airplane lands on top of car on I-95 in Florida
- On December 8, a Beechcraft 55 made an emergency landing on southbound I-95 near mile marker 201 in Cocoa, striking a 2023 Toyota Camry and resting partially atop a concrete barrier.
- The pilot reported engine problems and a loss of power in both engines after departing Merritt Island on an instructional flight, prompting a forced landing, the FAA said.
- Dashcam and ViralHog video show the plane rapidly descend and attempt a highway landing, first striking the car's roof before sliding and stopping against a guardrail, with Peter Coffey saying `Hopefully it lands to the side` as he watched the impact.
- Officials say both pilots were uninjured and lanes were temporarily closed, with the FAA leading the inquiry and Florida Highway Patrol conducting its own investigation into the collision.
- Bystanders including pastors and nurses pulled the driver from the wreckage on Monday, with Pastor Bernard Wigley saying `That could have been total destruction, total destruction. That could have 12 to 15 cars. There could have been fire from the fuel of the plane and total chaos like something you see in a movie.
