New footage reveals tense moments when plane crashed on California highway

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

New video has emerged of a plane crash-landing on a California freeway Tuesday that miraculously resulted in no injuries.

The new footage appears to come from a camera on the rear of a vehicle that had already driven by the site of the crash. The camera captured footage of the plane as it descends onto the crowded highway and attempts an emergency landing. The plane then makes impact with a truck and skids into a barrier before bursting into flames.

The plane, a single-engine Pipe PA-32, crashed on the 91 Freeway between Lincoln and Main in Corona, a roughly 45-minute drive east of Los Angeles, at 12:30 pm local time. It was attempting to fly to Corona Municipal Airport, but the pilot reported having an unspecified “engine issue” and was forced to attempt the emergency landing.

The Corona Fire Department said the plane broke apart and caught on fire on impact, while California Highway Patrol said there were no injuries as a result of the crash, including the two occupants of the plane.

Traffic was backed up for thousands on the 91 Freeway as fire crews worked to extinguish the blaze.
